Have visited this cafe/restaurant one evening a couple of months ago and thought we'd go there for lunch today.
It was crowded but there was one table for two near the door. Don't sit near the door unless you don't mind getting a chill down your back every time someone enters or leaves!
There were 3 female waiting staff who all seemed rather indifferent. We had to attract the waitress' attention to get her to take our order - having realised that the couple who'd arrived and were seated after us, she'd gone and taken their order before coming to us first!
The staff don't smile. They don't greet you, they certainly don't make you feel welcome!
Our meals arrived, my husband had ordered a chinese pad thai and I'd ordered a 4 seasons. You have to remember that this is a kosher dairy establishment so there is no meat on the menu. My pizza was huge, the toppings were mozzarella, tomato, mushrooms, red onion and sliced black olives. The base was thicker than I personally like but not disgustingly so. The toppings were plentiful, too. In 'normal' pizza parlours if I order a pizza that says it has olives, I'm likely to see 5 whole olives dotted around my pizza. This one was not quite covered with the black olives but it was a welcome sight! When you take into account my pizza was just under £9 it was very good value. I couldn't eat all of it and brought half back in a doggy bag.
However, as nice as the food was, the 'customer experience' was poor! I wouldn't say it was a particularly comfortable experience. Either the chairs were too low or the tables were too high - I felt like I had my chin on my plate almost. It was the waiting staff that really made our visit memorable by being so unfriendly and not particularly efficient. The food is good value if you can put up with the attitude of the staff. read more
