"Come. On. I really don't like to leave bad reviews, but then again I don't often see the need to leave good reviews. I mostly review to warn others. I think I should think more about this aspect of my personality. Am I altruistic? Or is it just easier for me to complain? Uncomfortable truths abound. I'm sure it's hard to keep a restaurant going midweek on such a small island. We salute you for your service, Vine Streer Cafe and Marie Eiffel! Anyway. The kitchen...clearly has issues. They can't course things. Somehow they couldn't get us a dish of olives before onslaughting us with every single thing we ordered. We ordered several things from several sections of the menu. Wine, as I mentioned, was good. Olives? Seemed out of a jar. Salad(s)? Because we tried two of them. Was there dressing? Was there cheese? Hard to tell. The arugula was fresh. So there's that. Quality issues aside, it should be noted: Duck prosciutto does not belong on a salad. Flatbread? Tasted like something an airline would give you as a snack if your plane was delayed more than 3 hours. Fluke? Hell no. My boyfriend likened it to the worst entree we were served at the worst restaurant we ate at...in Havana. Yikes. Chicken would have been passable if they had bothered to season it. The space is lovely! The lighting is perfect! The staff was trying! We really liked our wine! Cross your fingers and hope this place improves. We wish it well hope to be able to update next year."
