A glass display case sits empty at the hostess station displaying nothing but lots of smudgy fingerprints. A fitting analogy to the current Courier unfortunately. Patrons come in for lunch and wait several minutes for somebody to seat them. The service suffers from understaffing. I ordered a Veggie Dagwood sandwich. Remember Dagwood Bumstead and his multi layer skyscraper sandwiches?? Not here! This was more of a very dry bread sandwich. Where are the layers of veggies? The layers of cheese? The alfalfa sprouts? The sauce? My sandwich was served with a stale pickle. I asked if I could order a side like potato salad. They had coleslaw - $4 up charge. The place needs to be cleaned up! Put a little pride into the menu.

Charged us for bottled water which was already in the karaoke room, felt a bit strange. Got kicked out immediately at the minute our reservation ended.

Wouldn't rly reccomend

April 6, 2014 - Four first-time Yelpers give A Plus VIP Lounge four separate 5-star reviews. Three out of the four mentioned that the drink prices have been lowered. Three out of the four mentioned the "hot" dancers/ waitresses. Two out of the four mentioned the nice "decorations" (WTF?) If you think those 5-star reviews are genuine, I have some ocean-front property in Nebraska that I'd like to talk with you about.

Surprisingly good coffee drinks, tucked into a residence hall…read more The prepared drinks are well executed. I have ordered Americanos from two different baristas, both of whom pulled the espresso expertly. The shot came out sweet, without bitterness, and there was a fair crema atop the drink. The balance of water and espresso prolonged the enjoyment of the coffee without becoming watered down. (Tread lightly with the brewed coffee. It gets a little old in the urn.) This is not a specialty coffee place. You come here because it is quiet in the old, stone building, and because the coffee is cheaper than at the specialty shop. The quality of the prepared drinks is a happy bonus.

I really like the warmth I get from the restaurant and how it gives a very welcoming vibe. The Cafe is open to everyone and does not have a particular dress code. The restaurant was very clean and put together. The workers were very polite and were able to satisfy any needs. They recommended a lot of great dishes. They switch up the menu quite often, which I think is a very great idea. I like seeing different meals and trying different things each time I visit. My favorite was the BBQ burger with fries(10). It was very tasty and had a great flavor.

Ever since I discovered it a couple of months ago, I have practically been living here. It's a…read morenice cross between a fancy restaurant and a cheap cafeteria. There are always at least a few dishes to pick from, rotating daily. They also have a house salad and Greek salad every day. They charge $5 for (practically) every entree, which is sometimes too much, sometimes too little for the dish. On the other hand, all sides are $0.75, so it all kind of evens out. They also have rotating desserts, but always have big, soft, fresh cookies. Although going through the line to pay with your tray feels like a cafeteria, the seating is basic, but very nice, wooden, and pretty comfortable. You sit with a number and relax and wait for your dishes to be brought to you--which usually isn't too long. They do serve breakfast, but I haven't been able to try it yet. The convenience of being able to check the menu on the website pushes the score to an A+!

At first I was like what even but I tried it and it's now my favorite drink in the world besides bubble tea lol. Anyway, I love it here and with great prices and lovely staff members, I think you'll enjoy too! And idk what Markus23 is talking about.
