There are many fresh food options available for all types of diets. I stopped by because my child was hungry while we were at the park nearby. I ended up getting hummus and pretzel chips, but was tempted by the delicious-looking food at the burger station, sandwich station, and Japanese noodle station. The noodle station seemed to be a popular choice among customers. Additionally, there was an antipasto bar, a fresh cookie area, hot coffee and tea, and a variety of cold beverages including kombucha. The restaurant has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, with lots of natural light streaming in through the windows. It's a welcoming and bright place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack.

The beers are reasonably priced, especially the ones from their featured brewery (I paid $4 for a Cisco yesterday, which I think is a great deal). The staff is friendly, and there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I almost hesitate to write a review about it because it feels like a hidden gem, but they truly deserve the positive attention!

I was just told that the public is no longer allowed to order food, only students. Maybe they need to put this new policy on their website so that people don't order online only to be told that you cannot have your food.

Today I think I quite possibly received the worst service I have received at the bar at lingo. My friend and I were shocked by the sass and stupidity of the bartender tonight, clearly she hasn't made enough money tonight from the below industry standard salaries of the workers of EF. I hope the nice, tall, blonde lady is there next and hopefully I can improve on my review. I'm not one to write one but I've never experienced the kind of poor service I received from the short, black hair lady. Perhaps it's because of the fact I was only 1 of 2 black people there, not quite sure but I was denied alcohol and she proceeded to not ID the next 9 people who bought drinks including a group of EF interns that I know for a fact had 1 that wasn't 21. PS: The new chicken wrap sucks, the chicken avo was way better. I know avocados are up in price because of Trumps stupid tariffs but pass on the cost to the customer don't remove the best thing on the menu.
