The staff appears uninterested and the dishes are lackluster. The smoked salmon and potato salad was mostly potatoes with a minimal amount of bland and overly salty salmon. It's unclear why the management allows for such low standards. Overall, a tragic experience.

The coffee is bitter as a lemon and forget the food. Shame. Could do something special but misses most marks.

The service was very slow and when I enquired about my order the reaction was sullen and confused. The food on display looked terrible too. I won't return to this place. unless they employ more people or train the staff...either way it was a very disappointing stop.

The menu changes frequently and features tasty, home-cooked style food that is served quickly, especially outside of the busy lunch rush. The ambiance is bright but can be quite loud, especially when the restaurant is only half full. The pros include a spacious dining area and a menu with unique options, but the cons include the lack of interactive service and unfocused staff. I am unsure if I would return in the future.

A few months ago, I visited Becasse and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious savory waffles, like the scrumptious mushroom and goat cheese waffles. read more A few months ago, I visited Becasse and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious savory waffles, like the scrumptious mushroom and goat cheese waffles.
