"This review is for the University City location. The restaurant is clean with minimal decor. The food was excellent. The bad: We had made reservations for 12 PM noon, as we were a party of 7. The restaurant was empty upon arrival but despite waitstaff standing around, no one bothered to show us to a table. Once we were finally seated, no one came to take our order for about 20 minutes. We placed our order including appetizers to make it a little quicker and easier for the waiter. The appetizers came out one by one over the span of 15 minutes. At around 12:45 the first meal arrived with no plate. We asked for plates but by the time the second dish arrived, there were still no plates. By 1 PM 4 of our party had their meals. One of our party had to go back to work, so the staff said they would bring her meal packaged up right away. They brought a plate! And then the dish not packaged up as she was leaving. It was the wrong dish. The waiter tried to argue that is what she ordered but at the beginning when they took our order, he read it back to us to make sure he got the order right. As we were finishing up (1:45 PM), they brought the correct dish all wrapped up to go, 45 minutes after our friend left. One would have to assume if you are going to lunch on a workday, that you actually have no more than an hour for lunch. All in all, I will say it was not the best experience."
