I sat next to 'Veronica' on this particular day, and it seemed to me that nothing would make her happy. When we walked in the place it was packed and people were working very hard, and it was clearly marked 'Please wait to be seated.' A gentleman - who was helping clear tables and host - eventually came to us to write our names down on the list - we were in no hurry, as we could see there would be a wait. We grabbed a cup of coffee and waited our turns to be seated. The coffee was delicious, and the view of the pastries and desserts was a fun diversion from the wait. This woman was seated just after we were and all I could hear from her were complaints. She sent her food back, was still unhappy and she was even nasty to the waitress when she offered her complementary pastries as well as her free meal. We figured she was one of those people who goes around looking for free meals at restaurants. Our meal, on the other hand, was delicious. Big plate of corned beef hash with perfectly poached eggs and a zingy horseradish sauce, and my friends' risotto cakes and eggs was equally yummy. We will be back, hopefully without Veronica to sit next to.
Pros: good food for a good price
Cons: the wait, but what are you gonna do?
