I used to be a big fan of Open Sesame, but haven't been lately because the service and food has steadily declined. The food just hasn't been as a good, and lately the service has been terrible. The last time a friend and I went for lunch we were the only diners on the patio; the server rarely came around, and when we wanted service I had to go inside the restaurant to track someone down to help us. As it got a little busier, we were specifically told that we couldn't bring our (quiet!) dog anymore because it was turning customers away (even though the restaurant was still only half full). 2nd St is very dog friendly, but not Open Sesame, even outdoors on the patio.
