"At 2 p.m., there were only 2 other diners in the restaurant besides the staff. When we arrived, I informed the waitress that I had made a reservation for 2 under my name. Although she acknowledged me, I was not confident that she would confirm my reservation through OpenTable. The main reason I chose this restaurant was because I could book a reservation using OpenTable. I had specified in my reservation note that I did not like cilantro and did not want it in any of my dishes. We ordered the spring rolls to share, which were extremely greasy. I also ordered the Pho #1 and asked if it contained cilantro. The waitress informed me that it did, but it could be omitted. However, when my dish arrived, there was cilantro on top. I brought this to the attention of the waitress who had taken my order, and she promptly apologized and took it back. I expressed my concern to my husband that I hoped they would not just remove the cilantro but instead prepare a new dish. The Pho was quickly returned to me, but as I began eating, I discovered a cilantro leaf and proceeded to find more pieces of cilantro. The waitress returned, and I showed her the cilantro I had removed. Apologizing once again, she took the Pho back for a second time. When she brought me a fresh bowl, the veggies were served on a separate plate. Unfortunately, by this point, I did not have enough time to finish my dish, as my husband had already completed his stir fry. I managed to eat about half of the Pho before we paid and left. Overall, I did not enjoy my lunch experience. None of it was exceptional, and I have had much better meals elsewhere. Therefore, I believe a rating of 3 stars was too generous for an average meal, and it should really be 2.5 stars."

"So I came here to try the steak and eggs ? but changed my mind and picked the steak and eggs ? skillet instead which comes with some cooked ? potatoes ? eggs ? made your way and a choice of either toast, or mini pancakes ?. The plate itself isn 't a traditional hot skillet but it I definitely enjoy everything and noted the food was prepared with great care with fresh ingredients and I was so full I still have some pancakes ? left in my fridge for tomorrow. The skillet comes with a green tomatillo sauce so that was a nice surprise and I didn 't have to wait long for my food to come out. This being my first time here I didn 't see beverages listed in the menu so I asked my server for suggestions without realizing until the end of the meal there is a prominent chalk board against a wall with a complete list of canned sodas, juices, jarritos brand pops, horchata, milk ? and milkshakes. She suggested I order the strawberry horchata which was only slightly tasting of cinnamon but it reminded me too much of the child 's drink strawberry ? Nestlé Qwik drink which I never really cared for. I think the drink was OK but I probably would have preferred a simple tomato ? juice drink to accompany my breakfast food. The place itself is kind of worn down and could use some remodeling. Also to get to the bathroom ? you do need to walk through the kitchen area so it 's kind of a weird layout. I believe I paid around $27 including tip for the skillet ? and strawberry ? iced horchata which is a bit on the pricey side for a diner as low key as this one. Also there was a large table of rowdy high school kids here thar kind of killed the vibe for me. In summary food here is incredible but a tad pricey for the location and the fact that this tiny diner is not a fine dining experience. This seems to be an ideal breakfast spot for younger people that sells a combination of Mexican and American fare in a very low key atmosphere."
