sucks when your sober!!!

by SkinnyFatGirl

Went there late night one night and it wasn't horrible and it wasn't great....

Went there again the next week for dinner with friends. Not sure which was worse, the service or the food. It took the waitress 15 minutes to notice 6 us in a nearly empty restaurant. Even though it seemed to be slow, they still couldn't get the food out in a reasonable time. One friend actually got his meal after the rest of us had already finished eating!! I complained to the manager, who offered no apology and actually asked me "was it really that bad." What a loser! This place is the worst!!!!

• Pros: NONE

Terrible food even worse service

by arizona95

I have never been compelled to write a bad review about a restaurant. Normally if I don't like a place I don't complain I just don't go back but this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. First the waiter/busboy never brought the bread - I didn't say anything because the person I was with was watching their carbs so I let it go. I should have asked for the bread as it probably would have been the best thing I would have eaten at Cafeteria. I had the salmon, which was nothing to write home about. Next the busboy overloaded his tray, which resulted in his dropping of a couple of full glasses of water all over my friend's back but these things happen so we didn't complain. As an apology the waiter brought over a piece of the driest, most unappetizing piece of red velvet cake I have ever had the displeasure of trying - it was truly horrible so one bite was more than enough. The final straw? I ordered an after-dinner drink on the rocks and they charged me a dollar for the ice in my drink. I finally had to say something to the waiter - had to let him know how outrageous I felt it was that they could forget the bread (even remove our bread plates without bread service) and then have the gall to charge me a dollar for ice. Suffice it to say they did not remove the charge from our check. I mean a dollar is not going to break the bank but really in this economy is this how this restaurant is treating its customers? Having worked in the hospitality industry in Manhattan for over 8 years I was simply shocked. I will NEVER go back. Please note that in order to submit a review I had to give Cafeteria a rating of 1 star - for this dining experience it deserved no stars.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: Service, loud, food

Great Macaroni&Cheese

by Masum1

I had dinner here the other evening with one of my friends. The food was amazing, especially the mac and Cheese, and so was the cocktails. The prices were a little high, but other than the bill at the end of dinner and drinks, I really enjoyed the atmopsphere and the food.

• Pros: Good Food, Service, Atmosphere
• Cons: Overpriced
