This place was spectacular! Welcoming from the moment you arrive. As you enter, you feel at ease knowing you're supporting a moral business as they have multiple humanitarian posters up in their window; not to mention it's absolutely gorgeous from the walls to the waitstaff. We were served very quickly and attended to constantly(and it was always pleasant and professional). I got the chicken and waffles and split an avocado toast with my friend. Both were DELICIOUS, and believe it or not, their respective temperatures were correct. Weird how a long-standing restaurant can do that...almost as if people are lying in their reviews in a coordinated and racist manner in order to attack a Palestinian business...hmmm.
So, yes, it's time to address all these suspect reviews. I've read dozens upon dozens of reviews for this establishment and even witnessed a dishonest 1-star review in the making live from my table yesterday. Two women made a scene (momentarily ruining the joints pitch perfect atmosphere) complaining that a coffee came to them cold...which is weird because both my friend and I saw plenty of steam rising from their cup...and since this is such a common complaint among "this crowd" I suggest a new policy: Ask these patrons to stick their finger in the drink and hold it there for say, 30 seconds. I bet a lot of these liars will melt under pressure. They also like to accuse the owner of being crazy and "going off" over "a bit of criticism". As I stated, I have read dozens of reviews, both good and bad, and what I have seen is this:
The Owner is right and fair and smart, and you all are wrong and bad and stupid.
As I already said, it's clear that you are all being purposely obtuse for political reasons, your complaints are ridiculous, partially obfuscated to blame the business for your own stupidity, or just downright bigoted. With that in mind, the owner is completely justified in going after you lot, even if he was unbalanced in his critiques(he isn't), it would be justified. One-star reviews are detrimental to a business, and if these reviews are unfounded, which I'd say generously, 85-90% of them are, he has every right to defend his business in the public forum. You publicly smeared a person's livelihood, they should be able to correct the record and spank your dumbass right back. Does he go hard on ya'll? Is he kinda sick-nasty with it when he drags you through the comments and puts your ugly souls to rest? YES. AS HE SHOULD BE! HOWEVER, I've seen him act extremely fairly when people come at him correctly and criticize his business fairly. I've seen 1-star reviews where people were nice about their complaints, and he apologized and promised to fix the problem, and even reached out to offer something to make it right. I've seen him graciously thank reviewers who mention nothing but the things they didn't enjoy, yet gave 3 or 4 stars for what they DID enjoy, and again, he promised to make it right. So, stop trying to paint him as some unprofessional psycho who can't take any criticism.
So yeah, if you can't bring yourself to enjoy a delicious meal or cup of coffee because of your allegiance to an ethno supremacist apartheid state, that sounds like a personal shortcoming you should deal with in private, don't take it out on a family business. 5 stars. read more
