Vita Cafe has good food/prices. The service sucks though. From what I gather, being ""tragically hip"" is grueling work, maybe that's why the service can't seem to smile, greet or attend to the customer, yet dance & laugh w/each other at length, tending to customers when there is a pause in their chitchat. I don't really care if you are hip - I would appreciate some eye contact/acknowledgement that you will get to me, not having to track you down, or being told ""you won't get your food for 40 minutes"" after tracking you down, getting coffee, water, my order taken, silverware & the check in under 2 hrs. That might seem like a lot to ask the wait staff who think they are too hip to do their job, but maybe if there were more tragically hip staffers, it wouldn't be so intolerable. Just a suggestion.
Pros: thai corn cakes!, italian corn cakes
Cons: service sucks, service sucks, service sucks
