For dinner: The bartender/waiter was a little overwhelmed however, he did do his best to accommodate our big party. Our party kept getting bigger as more people kept joining us. We were able to get separate checks which were very helpful. My husband and I got the chicken club and chicken quesadilla. Both were delicious. For breakfast, it was a breakfast buffet including a made to order omelet station. There were plenty of items on the buffet. They were better staffed for breakfast. It was convenient not to have to leave the hotel for meals.

"I have a better idea," President Andrew Shepherd remarked as he stood up from the candlelit table…read morein which he, his Chief of Staff and his wife, the French President and his wife, and Sydney Ellen Wade were sitting and eating. "Would you like to dance?" Shepherd asked Wade. "Yeah, I guess," Wade offered a slight swoon before adjusting her style to fit the occasion. "I mean, yes, sir," she said with a smile. "I'd love to." "I don't know how you do it," Wade asserted she she allowed Shepherd to take the lead to the orchestral score of "I Have a Dream." "It's Arthur Murray's 'Six Lessons," Shepherd responded with a hint of charm." "That's not what I mean," Wade smiled, stifling a giggle. "Two-hundred pairs of eyes are focused on you with two questions: Who's this girl? And why is the President dancing with her?" Shepherd paused as the orchestra played on. "Well, first of all, the two-hundred pairs of eyes are not focused on me. They're focused on you. And the answers are Sydney Ellen Wade and because she said yes." What if there were a restaurant, whose food has been almost-universally excellent, but whereas the menu said "yes" the restaurant's stock said "no?"That is what happened both times I ordered takeout from Sarvis Cafe, located at 5711 Sarvis Ave, not far from the intersection of Good Luck Road and Kenilworth Ave in Riverdale, Maryland. First, it was a peanut butter smoothie without the whey protein my wife requested. The second time, my wife was disappointed not to be able to try the cornbread that is supposed to accompany the Friday special: the Fried Whiting Fish Platter. Of the sides my wife said would be acceptable, Sarvis Cafe was out of the mashed potatoes and gravy, the corn, the macaroni salad, the Mac and Cheese and the green beans. And finally, the succulent hamburger for which Sarvis proudly presents the option of ordering an extra patty, was restricted to the one patty the staff had on hand. I want to pause this critique to attest further to just how delicious a few of the dishes we ordered were. My wife loved her special breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage and spinach (on a croissant). I have already ordered the scrumptious Sarvis burritos, filled with peppers and onions and sausage and cheese, multiple times; and their sugar cookies, which can be purchased for the unbelievable price of two for three dollars, feature the crispy edges my wife and I love in addition to a smattering of vanilla. Back to the critique: The other reason I am awarding three stars, and not a higher amount, is because of a remark I overheard from a staffer (who was not the one who took my order) while I was waiting for my food. "Who ordered the $53 of food?" that person complained. Those words made me feel more like Rob Reiner's villain Senator Rumson than the ballroom audience captivated by watching the American President, Andrew Shepherd, and Sydney Ellen Wade, dance.

I went to Sarvis for the first time today to grab lunch. I love the wide selection of options from…read moresalads, to quesadillas, to sandwiches, and even baked goods and lattes! I think this spot primarily serves the office buildings nearby but if you live locally, it's a good spot to walk over to. I purchased a steak sandwich and a Reuben. The steak sandwich was good, but I really wish they would have remembered to not put peppers in there as I requested; I also asked for mayo and there was a ton (so maybe just be more explicit with your sandwich requests?). I was told the Reuben was good too, but he wished there were more sauerkraut on there. On a very positive note, the employees were SO kind. They're enough to return! And I really love the concept of this cafe. Next time I go back, I'm going to try one of their smoothies or a flavored latte!

They're small, but have a surprisingly good variety of snacks, drinks, breakfast and lunch options. I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant, an iced caramel latte with almond milk, a turkey & provolone sandwich for later, and a caramel crunch bar. That bacon, egg & cheese croissant?! YESSS. The croissant was good, and the iced caramel latte was delicious with the almond milk. I ate the turkey & provolone later that day and it was just okay for me -- a little dry and definitely my least favorite of everything I purchased. Nowwww...my total was over $32. For a breakfast sandwich, turkey sandwich, latte and a snack bar, I definitely thought that was a little pricey. I had to look at that total twice! Overall, though, good food, great service, convenient location and easy parking. I'd come back -- but next time I might not get quite so carried away at the register.

Three must-tries here at this El Salvadoran and Mexican neighborhood bakery go-to:…read more 1.) Get the breakfast platter with plantains, scrambled eggs, chorizo (sausage), refried beans, crema (similar to a milder, sweeter sour cream) and queso fresco (dry, salty squares of cheese). There are 3 variations on this breakfast platter, served all day here. You did not visit Flor Blanca until you eat one of their breakfast platters, shown in photos on the special breakfast menu. And, the rich coffee - to go with it - is definitely a thing here. 2.) Get the soft banana pudding bread (I don't know what they call it but it's the only dessert with a golden top that looks like a square slice of bread pudding.) Heat it up at home. It's tender and mild. Don't pour rum on top of this bread pudding because you may not be the same, afterward. And you will end up wanting more. 3.) Get the plain tamales and make sure to buy extra crema. You cannot find homemade tamales just anywhere outside of holidays. These tamales are so good. Meow meow meow meow. Listen, there is a lot of good food here. I love the plain white rice as it is seasoned well. So when it is served with an entree I sometimes get another side order to take home. The horchata drink was an early afternoon ritual for me, at times, along with the heated banana bread pudding. (If anyone knows what this is called I'll update the description.) People live to go in-and-out just to pick up a red tray and fill it up with pastries to go. Tempting! The cakes are moist and the cake pops are delicious. I love the mango tres leches cake here. And you can get a large, professional cake baked. There is a whole catalog of special event cake designs to choose from. Even though they close at 8pm, most people eat here much earlier, as I've seen and seem to finish before 7. I used to come here when no English was spoken at the counter. You could say the food names by navigating and pointing to the menu photos. It was like you were in a completely different country. Now, a few years later, all of the staff can speak to you. Either way, they were patient with me and my broken Spanglish. I really like the team, here. We have been here en la noche (night) - eating late and enjoying the food - and they have always been gracious and helpful. Just ask them what the most popular dish for that time of day you are there. I'm learning that we need to come earlier and take our food to go if it's after 7ish because otherwise we are sitting alone. There are so many menu items I didn't touch on which I've enjoyed, but do not miss the first 3! #localtastebyjenny

Let me say this, the seasoned waffle fries should instantly be put in the race for best fries in the DMV area ( 5-Star rating hands down ) now I was very intrigued with tasting the jerk chicken cheesesteak and maybe it was a little spicy but definitely delicious on any scale... And their lemonade selection is crazy... like 5,6 or 7 different flavors ( seriously ) I chose the tropical mixture and the taste was refreshing. FYI: The menu has plenty options that I'll be exploring over the next couple of weeks. The look says carryout... The food definitely says, Winning Taste !!!
