He is unaware of his surroundings and usually requires to be called over to receive any attention. But the worst part is that he never lets us split the check. He claims that because me and my group only ordered "one entree" that it is not possible to split the check. But with other waiters, we have been able to split the check. So if you attend the restaurant, be prepared for great food but beware of splitting the check if the tall man is your waiter.

What a treasure trove of incredible books, all at great prices!…read more Friends of Library groups are such an incredible force and I'm so inspired by the Friends of Webster Library for running this wonderful store, the proceeds of which benefit the Webster library and other east side branches. I stopped by one afternoon and could have spent all afternoon browsing! I was lucky enough to snag a few copies of Demon Slayer, a few Julia Turshen cookbooks, a Christmas movie, and more! The prices were great - I don't think anything was more than a few dollars. The staff was really friendly and pointed out a second Julia Turshen book when they saw one in my pile. I'll definitely be visiting the Book Cellar again! To enter the Book Cellar, enter the library branch and walk straight ahead. You'll see a sign that will guide you down the stairs to the book shop. Happy browsing!

When I arrived at the store to pick up my book I was shocked the lady told me "I underpaid" when I ordered. I said I paid what I was charged. She proceeded to tell me I underpaid by 1 cent. I'm digging in my bag looking for change of course I have none & she's like well you can use your card. I had no change & was by myself so I paid with my card. When I left I told myself I would never make another purchase there. The employee undercharged me, I didn't put the price in when I ordered. During a time when the country is not even making penny's to be insistent on one turned me off from this business.
