We used the drive thru so I can't rate the atmosphere. Food is very good and the service was spot on.

When I am able to actually have my order filled, the food is fabulous. But, if you are looking to have anything of the baked good variety (including just about any bagel) you are most likely going to be highly disappointed, because those items are NEVER available past morning hours. Which is quite the shame, seeing as how they are currently promoting new bagel stacks. The other day, they were even out of the baguettes that accompany soup.
