    Normally, this place is fine, but I came in well before they closed I came in at 4:30 so I don’t understand why when I ordered a nine dollar grilled cheese one side of it was the very end piece of the loaf. Which made it half the size of the other side. The workers are very nice and when I realize this when I got home, I think it’s very unacceptable that you’re giving your customers not even a full piece of bread when I’m paying nine dollars which is already outrageous for a grilled cheese. Also, if a male worker is gonna be in the women’s bathroom, prop the door open because I walked in and there was a male worker changing the garbage can, which was totally fine by them doing their job, but I don’t wanna be surprised by a male being in there, prop the door open that’s what my coworkers do at my restaurant when they’re in the opposite gender bathroom.

    The food was really good but I gave it a 4 star because 6$ for a small, very small cup of soup and pice of bread seams crazy. The chicken in my salad had fatty parts wich made me not eat the chicken. Lettuce was crispy and I loved the dressing. Seating feels scattered and it's loud inside.
