First impression as I walk through the door at lunch, there is a long line of people in front of two registers. I couldn't tell what was going on , if this was the line to pay or the line to be put on a waiting list. There are no signs or instructions so I had to ask the people in line. At lunch you have to stand in a line to place your order and you prepay, and then you seat yourself. Not only does this cause a back up, but you have to hunt down your own menu so you can decide what to order while standing in line. Therefore you feel rushed to make a decision. If paying with a card, you are including your tip before you ever get any service. \r
After placing my order I noticed the beautiful decor, and the luxurious looking leather chairs. Not long after the food arrived, but we still hadn't gotten our drinks yet. I got a simple chicken and hummus plate, and everything was bland. No spices, not even enough basic salt and pepper were used in the hummus or on the chicken. It was a good amount of food, but not worth the $8.00 they were charging. I would have overlooked the strange ordering procedure and given this restaurant another chance if the food had been properly seasoned. Plus of course you don' t get attentive service, since they are just dropping off your food and may occasionally come by to ask if you need anything.
Pros: nice decor
Cons: very basic menu, bland food, non-attentive service, waiting in line to order
