Service was indifferent, not rude but not kind. We had to ask for things several times. Never refilled drinks. Philly cheese steak had pickles which was odd. Maybe ok if I liked pickles but I don't. Would've been fine otherwise if not for the canned nacho cheese sauce. That had a weird, off-putting flavor. There was actual provalone on the sandwich so I don't know why they feel the need to use the canned fake cheese. Loaded fries were okay after we brought them home and reheated them. When they came to the table, they were cold and the cheese (a sauce would've been a better choice in this case - but not the canned stuff) had hardened so the entire dish was just one big clump of fries.Update: I was at a conference for work at a hotel across the street and co-workers wanted to eat here. The food was better this time although one person had the Philly and their reaction to it was the same as mine. I had the falafel wrap and the fried feta. The falafel was one of the better ones I've had and the fried feta (as long as you use the sauce it comes with) was better than the other local restaurant that is known for it. I've added a star because this meal was so much better than the last couple I've had here.Service was still cold. The woman that greeted us was friendly but the rest of the staff, not so much.

Nice location and ambiance. We had the ceviche, fries, perogies, and falafel. The falafel was very dry and almost stale, which I didn't know could happen. The fries came out cold, and the perogies were cold and tough. Ceviche was nice.Waitress was annoyed when I ordered a drink from their menu that they couldn't make, then was more annoyed when I didn't want to order something else. Apparently they couldn't make coffee was what I was told. She tried to get us to order an appetizer sampler to "save us money". If she had done the math she would have noticed what we ordered was two dollars less and with the sampler you get less of each item. Waitress gave us the food, and started to leave. She looked annoyed when I asked for silverware to eat with. I saw her do the same thing at the table behind us as well. She also sounded annoyed the we sent back the fries, nearly untouched, and did want to try another order. Maybe she was having a bad night, but there was no reason for her behavior.

The restaurant had a very fresh, clean vibe, unique. The staff was very helpful with suggestions. Everything was fresh, flavorful. We have been twice, had the delicious Hummus app both times. We plan on working our way through to whole menu eventually.

Went here with my wife for a Friday evening dinner. We got in and seated right away. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. After being sat we were ignored for 20 mins, before we had to ask for the service. The manager came over and was very apologetic. He got our drink and food orders. After that everything arrives promptly, and we did actually enjoy our meal. However, once we received our meal we were not checked on again and after nearly 30 mins we had to get the manager again. Again he was apologizing but this time I was past annoyed. I'm not one to complain or someone who looks for a discount or anything like that, but a comp would've went a long way. We were offered dessert as we were leaving, but it was too little too late. Maybe it was just a single bad experience but really cannot recommend.
