The first time I visited, there was no AC and no regular water available, only bottled water. Despite that, the mom provided kind and attentive service, and the chef’s food was absolutely delicious. Thumbs up to the chef. There were also two young ladies working that day. One seemed to have an attitude, and the other gave neutral service. I came back mainly because the food was so tasty. On my second visit, I noticed they now have both AC and water, which was a nice improvement. I personally try to avoid microplastics and prefer to use my own thermo, which holds 16 ounces, so I went to fill it with water. When I did, the young lady said very sternly, "Only one cup per person," in a tone that felt more like scolding a child. I simply said "okay," used the plastic cup provided, and poured the water into my thermo. I was just trying to be eco-friendly. Later, I use a 32-ounce cup for my Turkish coffee to help keep it warm, as I like to sip it slowly. Then I asked for another Napoleon dessert to go, but she said they didn’t have any. I asked if they had cheesecake, and she said no. Finally, I asked for soup to go, which they did have. I understand that availability varies, and that is perfectly fine because whatever they do have is always good.At this point I couldn’t trust her cuz of arrogance. She may have the dessert but not wanted to sell to me. While I was waiting for the soup, another customer was paying. My partner came out of the restroom and was about to leave. I was standing next to the cashier, waiting my turn, when the young lady raised her voice and said, "You have to pay before leaving!" I looked at my partner and realized she was addressing him, even though I was standing right next to the register the whole time. I handed him back his credit card to pay and he waited there for the soup. At the end I just wanted to leave that place soon. I went outside and let my partner inside to pay.As always, the mom was there, kind and welcoming. This time, there was only one waitress, the young lady with glasses and her attitude . She would make an excellent sergeant, but customer service does not seem to be her strength. I did feel uncomfortable with the “server”.She came across as distant and, at times, even rude. She seemed stressed or perhaps not very happy to be there. When I asked questions, she appeared annoyed, which made me feel as though I was inconveniencing her or asking for something for free. Her demeanor was a bit cold, and her stares made me feel unwelcome, as if I were being suspected of doing something wrong or urged to hurry and leave. I am not sure if this is how she treats everyone or if it was just my experience. Regardless, I genuinely hope that she finds happiness and peace, and perhaps with time, she can offer a more positive and warm customer experience. Overall, the food is delicious, clean place, and I do appreciate the effort the rest of the team puts in.After, this I won’t come back never. Atmosphere was bad cuz of her. She is telling her mom about my thermos lol

An Unexpected Culinary Oasis: Alex's Taverna is a Must-Stop on I-70! Stopping to charge our EV at the Flagler hyperfast station, we noticed a diner across the way and decided to grab a quick bite. We expected typical American diner fare – burgers and milkshakes – but what a delightful surprise awaited us! Beyond the American classics, Alex's Taverna offers a fantastic array of unique Georgian (the country, not the state!) dishes. It's an understatement to say we've found a new favorite. This restaurant is truly a cut above your regular off-the-road eatery. The owners, Nelli and Alex, were incredibly warm and welcoming. We arrived close to closing time, intending to dine in, and even when we realized we were staying past their hours and offered to switch our order to go, they insisted we stay and enjoy our meal. Their kindness truly matched the exceptional food. We indulged in the Greek salad, the bread boat, and the beef kebab. The Greek salad was incredibly fresh and crisp, honestly one of the best I've ever had. You simply can't go wrong with the beef kebab – it was perfectly cooked. But the bread boat... that was something truly out of this world! We're still wondering how a place with such amazing food and hospitality ended up tucked away off the highway. Alex's Taverna is officially our new must-stop whenever we're on I-70. We can't wait to go back!

Nothing but amazing things to say about Alex Taverna. Walk in and feel like family as you're greeted by the sweetest woman on the planet. I wouldn't bother too much with the menu, just talk to your server about what's available that day and you'll see a bunch of options displayed in the deli case. We tried a bit of everything on the menu, but the don't skip items: khachapuri (cheese and egg bread), Napoleón (you probably can't go wrong with the baklava either) and some good ol fashioned Turkish coffee. We also had the schnitzel and stroganoff and both were very tasty. For the salads, I'd recommend trying as many as you can, but the Greek salad is an easy, green leaf salad that is solid. It might seem like you're getting a ton of food but portions were nicely sized. For four of us we ordered three dishes (six side salads), the Khachapuri, and a dessert and we ate everything (on the hungrier side). Will definitely come back for another visit, but heads up! They may be moving to Colorado Springs in summer 24.
