  Using the recent Limelight coupon, some friends and I came here for lunch to try it out. We had perused the lunch menu prior to coming and already had our orders in mind. Big mistake.
  
  First, the appetizers are heavily on the seafood side. 2 out of 3 of us will not eat seafood, the other had no interest in the seafood apps offered as she thought they sounded gross. Off to a great start! We noticed several appetizers missing on the menu from what is on their Facebook page so we asked... apparently, they are redoing their menu and what is on Facebook is old, so be warned: don't go by that!
  
  Tried to order one of the house specialty lemonades, but they were out of basically all fruit, so they couldn't make it. Can't get grilled cheese- they were out.  We were left with extremely limited options.
  
  We finally decided to get bruschetta. It was decent-- we ate all of it, but it's not like it's some complicated dish. Still, credit is given where due: we all enjoyed it.
  
  Since there were no other appetizers that sounded good to any of us, we decided to split a spinach salad. I didn't care for the dressing much-- it just fell flat for me. The candied nuts were, of course, awesome. They always are! Overall, meh.
  
  Next I ordered the grilled chicken breast with mango salsa and a side of "chef's veggies." OK, the chicken breast was just a plain old dried out grilled breast with the same mango salsa, I strongly suspect, that is sold at Shop N Kart which is great as i love that stuff... too bad it was the ONLY flavor on that plate. The veggies were overcooked and had zero seasoning. My friend ordered the same thing and was not happy at all. Now, my other friend had the bacon burger and loved it. The fries it came with are truly excellent!
  
  This place is dismal-looking. Sure, the exposed brick wall is very nice, but the other wall is entirely bare. There is a very tiny stage in the front windows for "concerts" although I think maybe one guy and his guitar might squeeze in there comfortably. Wait, I bet he could fit a harmonica too. It was empty- we were the only people in the place outside of a friend sitting at the bar talking to our waitress/owner.
  
  Now for the service. It was terrible, which is a surprise considering we were the only people at a table. The waitress was cold and rude throughout our meal. She offered no smiles, she didn't come back to ask how things were, we had to ask her to take our entree part of the order as she didn't seem too interested in us, but rather was more into talking to her buddy at the bar. It was clear our business meant nothing to her, and really, that's all I need to know; I will never again frequent this establishment. You want my business? Then treat your customers like you give a damn. You just lost 3 of 'em.
