    After being closed during COVID, it's exciting to have the Refectory open once again. Jose and his team have done an amazing job revamping the interior, bringing delicious, wholesome options to the menu, and supporting and catering for Fuller Seminary events. It is a convenient spot for student of Fuller and local schools nearby, but also an excellent option for visitors or passersby who want a quick bite. This is a team who cares about customers, so be sure to tell them thank you as they work to provide the best experience.

    Chandler Dining Hall - Breakfast Super Starter

    Brains require a lot of energy to function, so it's no surprise that the main Caltech dining hall…read morehas a vibrant array of delicious items to please the palate. Food: You can get pretty much anything you'd want here ranging from pizza to Mongolian BBQ. Each station has some sort of ridiculously nerdy name that adds to the dining experience. I'm going to go through all the options one by one, so bear with me: Bunsen Burner (Grill): This place serves piping hot breakfast in the morning and transitions to choice cuts of meats in the afternoon. They seriously have a butcher's delicase in the dining hall. How sweet is that? Deli Epicenter: The Epicenter is the to go place for some sandwiches. Never tried it, but the line is always ridiculous, so it must be at least decent. Salad-Fusion: The salad bar is priced at $0.39/oz. Not super impressive as the selection is fairly small, but it holds its own. Each plate comes with a baked roll. Wok Zone: This is the Mongolian BBQ station. The product that comes out of here is entirely dependent on your ability to mix the sauces correctly. Sometimes they'll randomly throw weird items into your food that you didn't want like corn. I don't know why. Maybe there are some passive aggressive employees who hate their job behind the counter. The amount of food you get is astronomical. Pizza-Byte: Super good pizza at a reasonable price with loads of crazy options to choose from like Ranch Bacon Chicken. Comfort Equation/Latin Bar: These are the two stations in the middle of the dining hall that serve the absolute best things on campus. The Latin bar frequently has tostadas with really great meat offerings. They like to serve seafood paella loaded with mussels and calimari (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fp2H4dCbkZO52RrmFqzSVQ?select=S8Xc9TtSZsLoU5taZzN5Wg). Comfort Equation frequently has dishes like spice-crusted grilled chicken, Asian dishes, salmon, etc. You can load up on these items (some are priced by weight, some with a flat amount) and then get healthy sides like rice and steamed veggies. Bandwidth Bakery: Has baked goods... most aren't super awesome. TechTonics: This is a glorified soda fountain with coffee. The name is much more awesome than the actual station. Soup Station: It's soup. Sushi: Also self-explanatory. Cooking 101: Ok, this one is pretty special. They serve absolutely delicious pasta here, cooked to order. Some of the meats include chicken, sausage, and meatballs. You can get red, cream, or a combo of sauces. They'll often experiment with different dishes like pho on occasion. I would stay away from the pho, though. It was watery and tasted nothing like the real thing! Service: It's a dining hall so you grab what you want and pay at the front in cash, credit, or Caltech card. There's an area in the back to return your plate etc. that a lot of people forget about. Atmosphere: It's a typical dining hall experience, but at least they have pomegranates, artichokes, a large array of citrus fruits, and strawberries growing outside. I think they sometimes use those in the food. Synopsis: Pretty cool, although with the swipe card option you can easily spend over 10 bucks for lunch and not even know it.

    Way overpriced for poor students and professors…read more I prefer Ernie's.

    My boyfriend was craving that classic American Midwest comfort food, and we stumbled upon MOFFET's…read morein Arcadia, tucked away in the corner of a shopping center. What a delicious find! The chicken pot pie was absolutely delicious! The crust was light, flaky, and perfectly paired with the flavorful, comforting filling. We ordered the lunch special, which comes with your choice of pot pie and two sides. Our waitress, Dez, was so kind, attentive, and welcoming. She truly gave us that warm, classic diner-style service that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant itself is adorable and has such a cozy diner atmosphere. We were way too full to try the pies, but that just gives us another reason to come back! MOFFET's is definitely on our list for a return visit.

For what they're charging I could go to The Cheesecake Factory or a nice restaurant and get a better meal. It's a real slap in the face. The new owners have completely ruined this place. The original owners must be rolling in their graves. Everything has changed, and not for the better. The chicken pot pies don't even taste the same -- they taste old and off. The food quality has gone downhill and the prices are pure greed. If you value your money and actually want good food, don't bother coming here. It's so sad what they've done to this place. I will never step foot in here again and I refuse to support this business.

    I work near here. To get to the cafeteria, you need an LA County badge or sign in with the security…read moredesk. It's in the middle of the building. Beautiful courtyard. Indoor and outdoor seating available. What they do make is delicious. Pasta, burgers, Mexican, chicken, salads, a salad bar. All affordable. But you may want to plan your lunch hour earlier rather than later (like 11:30). If you have your heart set for a specific menu item, you may be disappointed if you don't get there early. Some stuff runs out. If it's gone, they're not making any more. I've been disappointed to have to make a second choice in a moment's notice on two different occasions in four visits. I only have a 30-minute lunch and have little time for a cook to make something. I'm usually ordering something packed up and ready to go. This would otherwise be 4 stars, but it's 3 because they don't always have what I want.

    Goodness gracious, where do I begin? Well it began as a mistake, did it not? Leaving the womb? Bad…read moreidea, but those contractions are hard to contradict. Sometimes along the way, I find a home, like Public Works. First I had to observe and report, then I had to observe and report, now I have to observe and report. All that observing and reporting makes me hungry and this cafeteria does not disappoint. I've installed custom stainless steel stuff in this kitchen that I cut out and shaped myself! I've checked behind the fridges and coolers, this place is clean. Cafeterias, Cantinas, Chow Halls, all hold a special place in my heart (they feed me). My bosses are hiring again, why they don't promote first? I'll never entirely understand (I work so hard). I hear these candidates asserting themselves, freezing up, oscillating and bending at the waist. I want to tell them there's an obstacle course for laborer applicants, but they aren't laborer applicants because no one starts from the bottom anymore - it's romantic and old fashioned, it's quaint and rustic, it's over. For me it's the classic novel found on a shelf in the middle of the night, devoured like a piece of meat. Ground chuck, ground floor, it's the parking lot below the ground floor actually, it's the shovel and the gravel, the shot put and the post hole digger, anyways I could go on forever about what it is and what it isn't, but this cafeteria though, what they've got is a griddle where the eggs spread thin before hardening, and then the other ingredients can be wrapped inside a cozy egg blanket, and then it all gets rolled up into a tasty tortilla. There's salsa and a salad bar, there are sandwiches and snacks, coffee and juice, don't be afraid, it's only lunch.

    I came to Millie's because of all the great reviews--over a thousand of them--so I figured this…read moreplace had to be doing something right. Walking in, it definitely has that California/Pasadena neighborhood café vibe, and I was looking forward to a solid breakfast. I'll start with the positive: Joey, the host, was awesome. Great attitude, welcoming, attentive--exactly how you want to be treated when you walk into a restaurant. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I ordered bacon medium, and it initially came out crispy. When I mentioned it to the guy bringing out the food, instead of simply saying, "No problem, we'll fix it," I got attitude and a response like, "What is medium?" Second round of bacon was actually good, so obviously it could be done. The biggest disappointment was the chicken fried chicken. The chicken breast was extremely dry. The potatoes were good, the eggs were good, but the main part of the meal just wasn't there. When it was time to pay, Elizabeth brought my check and I politely gave her my feedback. I wasn't asking for anything free. I wasn't trying to get the meal taken off the bill. I paid for my food. I simply explained that the chicken was really dry and asked whether they hear that complaint often. Her response was basically, "Everybody has their own opinion." And that right there killed the experience for me. Of course everybody has an opinion--that's exactly what a review is. But when a paying customer calmly gives you feedback about the food, there's a difference between saying, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, I'll mention it to the kitchen," and basically dismissing them. For a locally known café with this many reviews, I expected more pride in both the food and the customer service. I'm not comparing Millie's to Denny's or some giant chain. I actually expect more from an independent neighborhood café. Joey: great job. Potatoes and eggs: good. Second bacon: good. Chicken fried chicken: dry and disappointing. Handling of customer feedback: terrible. I came in because of the reputation. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to it.
