I was so excited to eat here today after walking by almost daily for a few months. The hostess was really nice and kept us updated on out seating status. Only about 10 minutes or so on a lovely Sunday, not bad. Then it went downhill fast. After being seated we waited at least 20 minutes to get a half-filled plastic cup full of water and were told sometime thereafter that they were out of the lemonade. We changed our order to orange juice (they display fresh squeezed oj outside on a lovely cart) and waited another 5-7 min before our gruff waitress informed us that they were out of that too...the woman who makes it was just too busy. We ordered our food. I am allergic to cow's milk and asked to sub goat cheese on my meal...we waited, and waited, and waited. After waiting about 45-50 min I finally went inside to use the bathroom and inquire about our meal. It hadn't been made yet. Everyone around us (ordering after us) seemed to be eating. The waitress didn't seem to think it was odd to wait so long so I went back to the table. About 5 min later our food arrived...mine with cheddar cheese all over it. So of course I had to send it back and wait even longer. The food was mediocre. When we finally got our bill there was an extra $2 charge for subbing goat cheese. We paid our bill and on the way out I decided I really wanted to tell the owner how disappointed I was in our service. All he had to do to win me over was apologize and I would have probably given them another chance at some point. Instead he apparently knew I was the one who sent my food back b/c of the goat cheese and immediately berated me for even asking about the $2 charge. He continued to say rude things to me and gruffly told me to ""have a nice day"" as he walked away. Please think twice before you spend your money here. There are plenty of amazing small businesses to support!
Pros: lovely garden, but who cares when you're treated badly?
Cons: horrible service, owner's terrible attitude!
