Worst customer service of all time - went in at 12:50pm on a Friday, only 3 tables had people. About 10 staff members were undecorating and the manager was a table away from us on two laptops. We ordered 2 salads, an iced tea and an appetizer. Nothing. Our waitress whispered to her co worker to refill our waters at 1:15, which we found odd as she didn’t have anything to do (she wasn’t undecorating just walking around). We got our water. 4 mins later I asked her to stop by and where our food was as it was almost 30 mins. She went to the kitchen and five mins later the chef came out and said the system had an error and they just put our ticket in. No apology or offer to comp at least our appetizer. No thanks, we just left. (Other tables got their food though so I don’t think it was a system issue- the waitress probably never put the order in. But she also never checked on us. And the manager got her food and ate it next to us the whole time lol).
What a wonderful experience we had at Poppy & Claro. Our lunch date was on Tuesday around 230pm, they weren't too busy, we had a choice of where we could sit. We were greeted upon arrival by several employees. Our taple was a window seat where we enjoyed watching the ice skaters. They have an array of cocktails, we started with the a bourbon drink and the Trolley. Our entrees/ small plates were the battered green beans, chicken wings, soup, farro salad and mushroom pizza. The food was promptly brought to us and was hot and fresh, it did not disappoint. We thought the presentation was lovely and very tasty. The prices for the dishes was reasonable. If you want to order right away and not wait for a server they have a QR scan option to order your food. The cheesecake with huckleberries was outstanding! I can't wait to try it again. They hours open is very flexible, one of the reasons we picked it!
Came here for a quick lunch and cafe sit down so I could do some work. I chose to get the cauli side and beet bowl for something healthy. It was one of the best vegan meals I’ve had. So much flavor. The waitress who helped me choose was so informative about the dishes and was so sweet. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I’ve been traveling the US performing all year eating out…so that says a lot.
Awesome new spot in Downtown. It’s on my walk to work so the temptation to stop by every day is real. The signature latte is delicious (both hot and iced, but I prefer iced). Their French fries taste as if in-n-out and McDonalds fries had a baby (incredible). The breakfast smash sando was tasty and didn’t leave you feeling too greasy. The salsa on the chilaquiles is nice and tangy, good heat too! Overall atmosphere is nice: music is a good mix of indie, folk, and pop. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Comfy seating, spacious. I haven’t found the outlets yet but haven’t asked either. Free WiFi. Hope yall stick around!
Took my aunt there for a birthday celebration. They treated us well. We enjoyed both lunch entrees. Liked the decor, very welcoming, with booths, warm colors, and the fantastic California shaped table. Even the bathrooms are nice, with full height private stalls. Just remember, currently they are not open on Saturday or Sunday.
