i hate to give this place only two stars because the service was great and the atmosphere was very cute.  i wanted to like it, but the truth is i was very disappointed. \n\nthe food was NOT great, especially for the prices!\n\nwe started with the strawberry avocado salad, which was okay, but i could have made it at home in about 2 minutes, and the dressing was nothing special. \n\ni got the garbanzo bean stew, but apparently they were out of garbanzo beans so they asked if some other bean was okay. when it came it was luke warm and looked like they poured these white beans out of the can  5 minutes before. gross. and it said it came with \""eggplant pilaf,\"" which ended up being regular rice with maybe one tiny smidge of spice for color, with one tiny chunk of eggplant which got lost under the white bean stuff. \n\nmy boyfriend got the seafood soup and it looked watery and unexciting. there were a few chunks of carrots and peas floating around in there, with not enough seafood. \n\nsorry, bon appetit. i still think you're cute, but i'm not coming back. \n\n(i heard through the grapevine that the chef is moody and if he's in a good mood then the food will be great but it's always a gamble, so you never know what you're going to get).
