7:15 PM October 31st. 2020 Had a horrible experience here. Halloween Night! (I WOULD RECOMMEND PAYING CASH.) I came in with a friend of mine for the first time ever. She recommended this place to me. Apparently the girl at the front register (her name is Karla.) She wore Cat ears this night and charged our card. We only ordered two dishes which was a Spaghetti with added Mushrooms in it, and the other dish was a Fettuccine Alfredo which came with Shrimp, we also added on Two(2)cookies which was a Pumpkin Cookie and also A Cookies&Cream Cookie. In the end our total came out to ThirtyFive($35)Dollars and some change. Was disappointed with the RUDE customer service of this young female to take it upon herself To Leave Herself a Ten Dollar($10.00) Tip. I signed our receipt and low and behold when I get home later on that night I go to check the bank account and I see We were charged FortyFive($45.00) for this restaurant. I Do Not Appreciate Sneaky People Like This Who Take It Upon Themselves to STEAL from their employers customers. My friend and I walked in there and treated her with respect. We did not say anything bad to her, no dirty looks... besides us only ordering our food. We ordered nothing else besides these Two(2)dishes and Two(2)Cookies. My friend and I came in here to order food, Not Get Taken Advantage Of And Have Extra Charges to a Card by a sneaky Cashier who STEALS from this restaurants Customers. This was such a horrible experience trusting a Cashier With A Card Only To Find I Was Charged more than I should have been charged later. (This Is Known As Fraud). I’m sure she doesn’t know that you could go to jail for this. Little did this Female Cashier know I remember exactly what I wrote on our receipt and I’m glad I did. Because I don’t remember my total being FortyFive($45.00) HOW could someone be TRUSTED at a place like this. How could someone even want to keep or hire such a person who would steal from their own companies paying customers. Such a rude and dishonest and DISHONORABLE employee. My total she verbally told me was 35 dollars and some change. I don’t know or understand how you can get 35 dollars mixed up by the end of the night with 45 dollars that was written in plain ink on the receipt. She even pointed me to the pen and said there is a pen there to sign the receipt. (As She Clearly Handed Me (Both) Receipts and I clearly Kept The Other Copy!) Don’t Know If I Would Ever Want To Come Back Here Knowing this happened. (The FOOD Was GOOD, The COOKIES were AMAZING, but the girl Karla in the cat ears at the register just ruined mine and my friends Halloween Night.) Talk about a (TrickorTreat). We Got Both From This Restaurant on this Night. And that’s not even comedic or Pun Intended. Anyways Happy Halloween🎃🧾 October 31st 2020 (Remember To Always Keep or Check Your Receipts and check your Bank Accounts at the end of your nights. I’m Glad I Did On...
Read moreGreat pizza, good bottle selection if all your into is ipas and sours. The lagers selection is a joke. Memo is a good counterman too.
Here is why this place gets only one star. The tap beers are overpriced for the neighborhood, Lincoln Heights has not flipped yet, thankfully there are few greasy bearded, chain walleted, man onesey, ponytailed sporting hipster idiots floating around the area. Yet the $6.50 to $12 tap beer pricing reflects a clientel more likley found in silverlake or echo park. It's just a bit high for the digs, which consists of a patio, couple benches and a few tables/chairs. What really irritates is the $1.50 per can/bottle corkage fee for beers bought right damn there. The owners operate like carpetbaggers and not neighbors. If you want me to buy your tap beer then a. lower your prices, b. widen the variety to include lagers, c. stop with the ridiculous corkage fee. I bought a Beerito mexican lager in a can, it was 2 bucks and change, (a fair price) to drink it there with my in house sandwich with added corkage fee made it a bad deal. Im a brewer, I support neighbors and their businesses but The Heights never feels like my neighbor.
I'm upgrading my reniew to three stars because.: good pizza good salads good pasta increasing craft lager selection - still sad though. I like the tap tenders/counter folks
not 4 star because: A. Mediocre sandwiches B. Raised corkage...
Read moreHipster deli and bottle shop near shopping in Lincoln Heights. Cozy place with small patio (heated lamps for chilly weather).
The draw here is hand-selected craft beer and wine. As you enter the restaurant, the bottle shop occupies the center space. There is decent selection of wine in cases; refrigerated beer and wine line the wall. There is $5 cork fee for wine and $1.50 fee for beer.
The menu includes cold deli sandwiches named after locations in the area (Avenue 26, The Heights, Broadway, Griffin Avenue, Lincoln Park Avenue, etc.). Hot sandwiches include chicken and eggplant parmesan, meatball and sausage combo and Philly cheesesteak. All sandwiches are made with French roll, Boars Head premium deli meat and cheeses and topped with their house sauce or a house hot pepper sauce if you want a spicy "smack".
They also serve salads, pasta and pizza. Sides are garlic knots, meatballs, Italian sausage and peppers, mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, truffle fries and tuna fish.
The sandwiches are tasty but nothing spectacular. The sandwich size is appropriate to the cost; however, the rolls on my Griffin Avenue and my husband's Pastrami sandwich was a little hard. Little expensive...
