The Scene – Step up and order at the counter of Robert Del Grande's quick gourmet empire. Sit indoors at the roomy cafe tables or under the umbrellas alfresco-style. You'll be among local European trendsetters, weekday lunchers and family-friendly diners who have the option of grabbing a quick bite or lounging around and shooting the breeze. – – The Food – For colorful and generous salads, roasted chicken or designer burgers in a flash, it's all deserving. Pastas in oversized bowls, such as cavatelli with broccoli, mushrooms and goat cheese served with a house…
Salads are small
by mmfx2006
I got one of the salad entrees and it wasn't bad, but I was miffed about the size of it, it wasn't cheap and it was significantly smaller than at other restaurants, only very slightly larger than a dinner salad.
OK food, horrible service
by iflyspectre
I have gone to this location twice now. The food is alright, nothing great. The service, wow, it was horrible. Very rude people that work behind the counter. I will say they do have excellent tea, but nothing is worth going back in there to deal with the staff they have.
- Pros: location, tea
- Cons: service
Cold dishes and Over Priced
by gitmogrunt
In all fairness to this restaurant which is located on West Gray, we have have been there several times to give them a fair chance to show if the discrepencies we experienced were a one time occurrence or an established pattern. We really tried giving them the benefit of the doubt . Each time we ordered the soup, salad and sandwich combo, the soup was served cold, however when brought to their attention they were nice enough to re-heat it . One uncrowded evening we went there and found several unclean tables in one section, and we were just looking for a place to sit, not to inspect or clean. Also the portions of tuna salad and/or chicken salad on the sandwich, were meeger.
The portions on the soup,salad, and sandwich combos doesnot justify the price. On the positive side their pasta dishes are tasty, yet pricey, and cool quickly, indicating that they're not warmed enough. Their Currant Tea is very good, and about the only item on the menu that is cost proportionate.Overall,... I would not recommend this restaurant..
- Pros: Good Currant Tea
- Cons: Cold over priced Dishes
