I would like to love Tisane. I'm a local and have a sweet spot for indepedent coffee- or tea-houses. However, it just doesn't measure up, in most ways. The good: the food is very good, their tea menu is extensive, and their alcoholic drinks are creative and tasty. The bad: the service is very spotty (we had an *extremely* rude waitress, not once but twice - and they were different people), the food is way over-priced (even for being very good), and they have few dessert selections. Overall: mediocre, at best. I've heard their Tuesday gay nights are lots of fun.
Pros: Drink menus, quality of food
Cons: Spotty service, food is too expensive
