    Terrible quality food, especially for what you pay. It’s at least a good place to study when the wifi works…

    This location has gone downhill since the private equity buyout a couple years ago. The portion sizes are tiny and prices have steadily increased. It’s a good place to get work done if the wifi works (sometimes it doesn’t..) It just feels like you’re getting overpriced hospital food
