When I got to the counter, the guy goes "you're 10 mins early but will get it going for you". At least the woman who made the sandwich was nice and after 5 mins of waiting "it will be out in a few mins" . Thats why Im giving this experience 2 stars instead of 1. On another note the bread was stale. In conclusion, I would support the many local deli's before this place.

People really need to learn how to make food the way the customer wants. I ordered an omelet with…read morejust food and feta -- nothing complicated -- and it took them three attempts to get it right. On the final attempt, the owner actually yelled at me and told me to "pick something from the menu" with a number, which was incredibly disrespectful. When I explained that I did order from the menu and simply asked for no spinach, he argued with me and said the dish "comes with coffee and bread," even though I was never offered either of those things. What made the experience even worse is that all the employees were giving me dirty looks the whole time, making me feel completely unwelcome and uninvited. No customer should be treated this way. This place needs to get their menu straight and learn how to treat customers with basic respect. Very disappointing experience.

In fact, I'd go further and say, if you wanna go on this journey the way I did... you should. I ordered and tried it before I was high and my first thought was, this is low-key not great and I think I gotta be high.... So I did just that. ...it certainly got better as I pontificated about life and other dimensions of reality, and popped the dope sauce into the microwave... it all came together after that, I didn't love the half fried tortalini, mostly because there just wasn't enough bacon jam and stuff on top, but I obviously kept picking at it all night so, what's that say? The Shrimp sandwich was just that, shrimp, coleslaw, bread... it's good but way better stoned! The shrimp is large and the fry on it is boss level expertise Their two sauces (sweet honey mustard and spicy cherry pepper) are really good, the dope sauce is a cheese fondue type joint that needs to be heated and gooey and melty.... Unless you're at the truck I'm sure, but I ordered delivery. Now, with the tortalini I ordered the chicken side as well as the sausage, and by the end of the night I put the scarps together and made a chicken sausage and cheese fondue that was to die for, and that science experiment blew my mind because.... Maybe these assholes took me on that journey!? Hah maybe that's what I was supposed to do? Put it all on the tortalini? I dnno, but it was great and they get the fourth star just for that, because if they planned my night this way... lmao mind blown, but it didn't take much, I was smoking through my nose last night.

Unfortunately, this review is not good at all due to the lack of class, judgment, and inadequacy of this establishment. We came here on a date night because we heard nothing but great reviews on this place. We were seated by a very unpleasant hostess who made it known she did not want to be there at all. We waited for a while for a server to come up to us to get our drink order, but that never happened. I was reluctant to leave at first, but then noticed that there was another table across from us a family of four with two kids who were having the same problem too. They waited patiently as we were, but no one was around to serve us because they were all standing at the bar being loud and goofing around. At that point I had enough and we walked out. I have now read the most recent reviews on this establishment after I left and I should have done that before we came here. A lot of unpleasant reviews have been posted for the past six months about this place. So apparently there's a reason why I had the experience I did as everyone else did recently. It's a shame because the Old reviews prior to the past couple of months were phenomenal. Oh wait you guys must be permanently closed by now as one of the other posts said. Now you should understand why. It is what it is, Right?
