Went to the University Cafe as a recommendation from my sister. We walked in and were not greeted. We stood around for a minute before we were motioned to a table by a passing waiter. Water was promptly placed on the table and menus brought and then...nothing. No waiter to take our order no attempt to get drink orders...nothing! My bf flagged someone down and we ordered and bread and with a tasty tomato dipping sauce was brought and then nothing again!
Our glasses were filled with water every 2.5 seconds but no food for about 35 mins. My bf asked someone to check on the food, for which he received the reply "It's busy." I looked around and it wasn't! The food was brought and my friend and I ordered the same dish. I got mine first, it was almost cold. My friend got his and is was almost twice the portion size of mine and looked VERY DIFFERENT. Mine looked and tasted as though it had been stiing around for a long time before being brought out. The rest of the food was without issue.
We ate and waited and waited for someone to clear the dishes and bring the check and nothing! My bf AGAIN asked for the bill and when it finally came it was not our bill! The food was okay but rather forgetable. The service was the worst I have experienced in a long time and I felt bad that this was my suggestion and it was so off the mark.
In summation: There are so many better places on University Ave to eat at where the food is just as good and the service is a thousand times more attentive.
Pros: ambience
Cons: service!!!!
