Editorial review from Citysearch 10/7/2012

As far as the food-very good and the portion is fair for the price. As far as the service--SLOW. Stay home or eat elsewhere-you have a better chance of getting served. It was pretty obvious my waitress was new. As she sat me and placed down the menu she asked what I wanted. Well considering I haven't even pulled in my chair yet I am not sure. I asked for a minute and that was my fatal mistake. I was to never see her again unless I was lucky enough to make direct eye contact with her. I waited what seemed for be forever before I was able to have her get my drink/dinner order. Figured I should get them both at once and I am glad I did. The funny part is that when I was able to get her attention to get my order she had this look of surprise as if she forgot I was there which was surprising since there were only 4 tables occupied and a waitress was helping her with the other three. I guess I didn't make the cut for good service. My glass sat completely empty almost my entire meal until she came over to see if my meal was good and then I was able to point out my empty glass as she was getting ready to walk away. I was drinking alcohol which makes me wonder why she wouldn't offer me a new drink. I have always thought that a higher bill was a better tip. Heck at this point I would take something more then poor service for a better tip. I sat with no more attention paid to me until I stacked my empty dishes up to signal her again that I was done. Heaven knows she would not just have stopped by again. I got a half spirited ""do you want a dessert menu?"" and a check. During this entire time I watched the other waitress help Elsa with her other three tables. Topping off drinks, stopping by to check in and bringing over a dessert menu with a smile and a suggestion of her favorite. I love food from this region and was excited when they moved closer to my home. After this experience though...tonight is my first and last. There are so many other great places to eat on 17th--spend you money where you are wanted.\r more
