I stopped in to MOA for a late lunch and decided to try NVG. I had the dijon chicken (a little overpowering), mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts (a little over-grilled). The service was slow, both in delivering drinks and bread, and in getting the meal to the table (perhaps bec they have few staff working at 2pm?); the bread was soft, greasy, and cold; and the waiter's English was hard to understand (I'm used to Spanish speakers' English, but his was garbled). The waiter brought my friend the wrong beverage and later had to be asked to bring us salt and pepper. Basically, it felt like a good restaurant awkwardly trying to pass itself off as a great one... Most ridiculous was the $5 iced tea out of a bottle. Nothing 5-star about that. Do you suppose they don't know how to make iced tea in California? Absurd.
Pros: conveniece, food was not bad
Cons: pretentious, a little pricey, sub-par service, $5 iced tea
