"This visit was a disappointment. I've brought my mom several times before, but I am not sure if we will be back. We made reservations and arrived on time. It took a bit to be acknowledged and several minutes for someone to come back and seat us. This location is very tiny, and we could see three open tables and there was no reason we should not have been seated right away. It then took several minutes for the server to show up. He was friendly but a little more concerned with giving a dramatic welcome than he was with attentive service. It took nearly 10 minutes to get an iced tea and coffee once he finally took our drink order, and I had to get up and find him to get refills. We ordered choose two combos which took a very long time to receive. In all, we were in the restaurant well over an hour before our meals were served. The cakes were beautiful, as always, but the portions were smaller. Hard to believe because they were still big, but it was noticeable, and we compared them to photos from past visits just to be sure. At $16 per slice, you expect a large slice. The coconut cake was very dry. The filing was amazing, but I don't know that it made up for a dry sponge. In the past we always ordered cake to take home but this time we didn't bother. The atmosphere is adorable, and my mom loves to go there but it cannot stand on charm alone. The focus needs to return to the cakes for which the restaurant is named and to improve the quality of service."
