    We were seated on time for our reservation and received our drinks quicklyUpon ordering our meals, our server asked us to move to a different table because we were having soup for lunch instead of ordering the buffet (this was her explanation!). This was a business meeting with a group who were being introduced for the first time, so the request to move a table full of beverages , in the middle of our conversation, for a very odd reason created confusion and awkwardness She asked us several times to move while we all looked at each other in puzzlement. As we started to get up to move, another host sat the table that our server wanted us to move to so we stayed out. One of us ordered French onion soup which the server recommended; she returned and said they were out of it; so he ordered chicken noodle instead. She then brought the onion soup in addition to the chicken noodle. After she brought the check, the manager came over and asked us to move tables again with no obvious explanation of why. It was among the strangest and disappointing experiences I’ve had in any restaurant. This is the third bad experience I’ve had in this restaurant in this calendar year. They seem incapable of running lunch service and basic courtesy, so absolutely will not return.

    Extremely helpful and professional staff. Food was inventive and nutritious. More than filled the bill in that neighborhood. Elegant setting.

    I feel like the service is never great at this restaurant. Our waitress took our order, did not write it down and of course got it wrong. Very frustrating because I come here all the time for work and want it to better.

    Arrived minute or two ahead of our noon reservation and were quickly seated. Order taken at 12:10 for three salads ordered directly from the menu with no modifications. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. At 12:37 I was concerned since we hadn’t received beverages, so I asked the hostess if we could pay our bill in advance so we would have a quick exit to return to work. At 12:47 no food had arrived. The server brought the bill at 12:50 but said the manager was “seeing what they could do about it.” No manager arrived so I asked for the food to go and very reluctantly paid the bill. The food arrived in unlabeled takeout containers. When we returned to our offices, there were no utensils. I contacted the restaurant by email that afternoon requesting a refund. That was 6 days ago with no response.

    They have a very nice staff and the best lunch buffet around. The food is creative and wonderful. The desserts are yummy. The restaurant has a wall of windows and makes the room light and comfortable. Definitely one on my favorite lunch places.

    In the past I dined at North Coast Cafe as they offered a lunch buffet that was timely and convenient for my meetings. Now post-COVID, they only offer ordering from a menu that slows down the timing and provides fewer options relative to what I prefer to eat. Still great service and good quality.
