The Rotunda — Restaurant in Seattle

When they first reopened, I ate here for lunch almost every workday, the quality of the food and proximity to my job made it an easy decision even if it was a bit pricey.

What the hell happened? Earlier this year the prices spiked dramatically, the two sides deal went away, and the food itself became wildly inconsistent. It's as if the same dish is being prepared in a completely different way each day. The mac and cheese alternates between being counted as a side or a separate "soup" with no clear pattern. Rolls and some sides are often missing altogether. A meal that cost $14-16 several months ago will now $22-25. Beverages that are $2.50 at the vending machines ten feet away are sold at something like $3.80.

The service is still very good but I can't begin to understand the decisions being made higher up the ladder, it's to the point that I'll sometimes settle for a protein bar and yogurt for lunch instead of paying...

Honestly the worst university cafe I have seen in a career that has spanned more than 30 years and 5 universities. First of all, they have virtually no lunch options -- their "menu" has been repeatedly downgraded, to the point where it is now little more than a snack/junk food stand. Worst yet, the unappetizing food they do sell is insanely overpriced. To make matters worse, the clerks usually are nowhere to be found, so you often can't even buy a snack because there is no one around to ring you up. If you pay with credit card they never offer you a receipt (which you have a legal RIGHT to), and sometimes won't give you one...

Rudest barista ever at the coffee stand. I just asked for a cup for drip coffee and so the guy at the front gives me a cup and does not give me a lid. So I get a lid myself after filling my cup with drip coffee and another barista snaps at me for grabbing my lid because I am spreading germs. I mean I get it but first if you did not want me to grab a lid then you should have given me one in the first place. Second you don't need to be so rude to me and snap at me. Ughh will not be back here again if the guy with the glasses and ponytail is...
