    The food was ordinary - - a diner would have been better. The Americano was actually filter coffee and $6 for a small cup. Many of the staff seemed overworked and unhappy.. The ambience was pleasant and it wasn’t too noisy. All in all - fair Haven’t been here in years, I used to love it but it’s gone downhill
