Where have you gone, Cafe Med? You used to be such a nice place. Several years ago I would be greeted warmly and treated nicely. On your bad days I may have to had to wait a little longer for service or a table, but you were always courteous. Now, even on a typical night I waited fifteen minutes before our server even came to us. This happened twice in the last three times (and trust me, they represent the LAST time I will go to your restaurant). The last time - barely last week, we were seated and we waited. We waited and waited and waited until we asked the busser where our waitress was. We watched him go back - get our waitress who peaked behind the partition and sort of gave a face when told we needed service. \r

The waitress was not familiar with the menu - not familiar with how to pronounce the dishes. We ordered drinks, hummus, and dinner with salads and sat back. Hummus came, no salads. No waitress. Meals came. Mine was cold and bland. I usually love their Moussaka as it is usually very flavorful. This looked like something Gordon Ramsey would center an entire show around how to avoid. I'm not sure if it was just prepared a long time before it was cooked or cooked a long time before it was served. Either way it did not represent the quality of food that I remembered. \r

Then the salads came. More excuses as to why they didn't come before the meal. I really don't care WHY you failed to do your job. But blaming it on anyone but YOURSELF is tacky! Then she had to get the right dressing. Then we got to wait another ten to fifteen minutes for the check. \r

This place used to be great - it used to be somewhere I loved to experience. What happened?!
Pros: A past history of great food
Cons: A current 2/3 record of really horrible food/service.
