I'm shocked to discover the negative reviews of Alivia's. My husband and I live a few blocks away, and walk there in the mornings and evenings at least 4 times per week. During the day, Alivia's has EXCELLENT breakfast, great coffee, and big mahogany booths with electrical outlets for my laptop, and free wireless internet. In the evenings, the big glass doors open and the space turns into a dining/bistro restaurant. We love the pork loin and the steak; the sides are awesome too. We've had only courteous service from very professional wait staff. Seriously, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND the negative ratings. I guess folks only write on boards like this if they have a bad experience. I'm breaking the trend and writing because I love the place so much.
Pros: Ambience, space, outlets+internet, food quality for price
Cons: Can't think of any
