Would give 0 stars if possible.
Twice now I've come,and they didn't have what i ordered.
This time i came at 8pm and they close at 10.
The first time they didn't have french onion soup and i had ordered the french dipper which comes with the soup and a second french onion soup, they offered to replace my soup which i did and honestly I didn't like the secondary option.
This time I ordered the chili and woah ! Magically again they don't have what i ordered. This time I decided to refund the chili but all of a sudden there is a system error that somehow is causing an issue with my refund, which leads to more prompting to replace my soup instead of simply refunding.
Also! The picture advertised for the bread bowl has chili in it!!! How don't you have chili!??
You took my money immediately, refund me immediately and stop with the run arounds.
Also if a large part of your menu is soups have the soups while the business is in operation.
I understand when people say customer service is dead!!

Visiting from Maryland and wanted my fix-Chicken avocado BLT. It made me sick. Flies were on the baked goods. The chicken was not what they use in the US. I wish I had passed on this.

Really? You made a mistake by giving me the French baguette instead of an apple. And you had to take away French baguette from me before giving me an apple near closing time???? Wow I spent almost $11 for a soup and a side and you guys made a such big deal over a small piece of French baguette? Never ever coming back ever again.
