The food I've had on a few visits has almost always been quite tasty, but go when you're not in a hurry. The restaurant's service is notoriously slow, and you can sit outside in the Mall seating for several minutes without being asked for your drink order.
On the positive side, the candy shop hosts some really eclectic and delicious confections, and the menu's breadth can't be beat anywhere in town. Often considered a must-visit for UVa students and their parents.
