I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. Grilled breast topped with Frank's hot sauce on a pretzel bun. Proabably should have shelled out a buck to top it with bleu cheese, or at least some swiss. I got onion rings on the side ($2 upcharge--very reasonable compared to many restaurants), and they were very good. Crispy but not overcooked, not so heavily battered that the onion disappeared.

The meal was slow coming. My Chicken Swiss sandwich was over cooked hard and dry. Had a few bites, there was no Swiss. Meanwhile still no bread, while we see all of the tables who arrived after us have bread. So we ask for it - 10 minutes later it comes. Then we notice no butter. We flag down the server to get us butter. 10 minutes later, it comes but by then the bread is cold and we're finished with the meal. Bill comes, we were over charged for the mimosa. Flag down the waitress to fix the bill. More time. Ten minutes later we flag down the waitress and she finally picks up the credit card and cashes us out. 2 stars given because the French dip was very good. On the way out we started to tell the hostess about our experience, but another employee interrupts the conversation (something else), so we leave.

Closing early is a great way to loose coustomers for good. I believe when this happens you'll be closing up business before long.

I ordered an avocado toast, the egg white was not nearly finished cooking, very runny still. The person I came with ordered an omelette with extra cheese.. the exact same thing he got last time.

I am not sure if that is how this place typically puts extra cheese on an omelette but considering the last time the extra cheese was put inside his omelette I am assuming not..
