Coffee cup fell empty, wrong meal delivered to table, wrong amount charged for wrong meal, no silverware at start of meal, wrong price charged for a take home bread we ordered. and finally waitress threw our to-go container out while we were paying. Final bill $35 (take home was about $7). The waitress was new and already overworked, and as hard as we wanted to like this place it had such poor service this day. Our second visit was 2 stars for other reasons all together. The time we returned we got one breakfast and one meal. The meal was salmon and was cold and underdone, and eggs were cold as well which is basically ruining them completely. The service was again friendly but lacking.
