    We went for brunch. It wasn't terribly busy, but somehow, the service was slow, and my order was wrong and cold. My daughter didn't eat the Acai bowl she ordered because it "didn't taste good." This is the second time I've been here. The first time was a year ago, and it was WONDERFUL! So, I'm not sure if things have gotten worse or if the staff was just having a bad day.
