Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup! As for the parking, it's hell, absolutely satanic but that is not reflective of the rating. You are at the mercy of street parking and not easy to find.

I should've written a review sooner but it never occurred to me until I saw the 3 and 1 star reviews. One of the 3 star reviews the guy only had positive things to say! So why the 3 stars? The people that do this kind of thoughtless inconsiderate rating are blissfully unaware how this can affect the business. My family has a small business, so I take it personally when people are cavalier with their idiotic ratings which are substantiated by nothing and yet drags the star rating of the business down. Shame on you guys and boy, would I love to go rate your performance at your job.

The kale salad is outstanding. The veggie burger is massive and delicious. On one occasion I had a pasta (I think it was cacio e pepe), and it wasn't anything special. My friend had the duck bao and loved it. For dessert we had the layered carrot cake and the chocolate cremeux...to die for. I love the comfy interior, soft lighting, modern design. And I've been very happy with the service - on our first visit during summer we had an outdoor reservation, shortly after sitting down it became too buggy and they happily found us a spot inside, we really appreciated that. Just don't be late as they have a 5 minute grace period and you'll be charged per person for a missed reservation.
