Update. Okay so I was looking forward to a much needed reunion with my sister in law. The place had changed. Menu been upgraded to a metropolitan style. Oh the scones are still on there though. Food was cold when arrived. Food, not fresh. Poor staff were too few, and training would be great for them. It will boost the confidence. The dessert was off too. Which came first, and coffee after 25 minutes had not arrived. I miss the old quaint place that was a wonderful place which was affordable. I understand change is necessary. I wish you all the best. I will miss coming to Philadelphia. Was quiet when we arrived. Ordered coffee and scones. Scones arrived then had to wait a bit for the coffee........so I did some looking into and discovered that Lucrecia(sorry if mispelt) had to do everything. From taking the order, to people paying in the shop, so no hand held machine. Plus she is the lady who makes the delicious coffee. What made me sad is that the manager just walks around....not helping when things get hectic. Well done to Lucrecia and the other ladies who are forever polite, friendly, warm and kind. The best is yet to come!...

Read moreStill fuming over the way my husband's meal - missing half of the ingredients (avo, aubergine and more) - was handled. Management acknowledged that they had seen the incomplete dish going out (WHY was it even allowed to go out in that state??) and asked the waitress to provide a separate plate of the missing ingredients, which never happened - and management clearly didn't follow up on! And when it came to paying for the meal, management openly acknowledged the issue but with barely an apology and nothing to rectify the fact that we paid for ingredients that he never got to eat - with no offer of a partial refund, voucher... shockingly handled by management, disappointing! Your restaurant was recommended to us, it was our first visit... and this is how we were treated. We certainly won't be continuing the recommendation, you need to learn to follow up on your mistakes, don't send incomplete plates of food out, and at least try and offer something to make up for your incompetency if...
