I am torn about this place. Here's thing, there's the good and the bad.... I guess I'll be a bummer and start with the bad... First, I've eaten almost everything on their menu, including all the breakfast items and items that are not on the menu. After working downtown for so many years, I eat here at least once a week. Does it mean that it's so great that I'm addicted to their food? No. It just means there's not much else around. Choices are limited downtown and this is one of the better eats. \n\nThe bad... I find this place to be dirty. My friends know that I try to stay away from the salad bar. It's not the food that's the issue but their plates. It's plastic and they don't wash it very well. Next time you eat at the salad bar, check underneath some of the salad plates, you'll see some grease. Yeah totally gross huh? I hate all their dishwares. It's just plain unappetizing. Also, depends on what you order, the food can be really greasy. Most of the breakfast items are totally greasy. I don't recommend coming here for breakfast. The breakfast is just okay, I recommend that you save your money and go to Omelette house for some real breakfast instead. The only good breakfast item are the Argentine pastries. These are really good and they quickly sell out before the noon hour.\n\nI have always had a love affair for empanadas and these are just okay. I expected the outside to be greasy but the filling is extremely greasy. I had them twice and still don't like it. I don't think I will order these again. \n\nThere's always good and bad items on all restaurant menus. I guess it just depends on each persons preference. Maybe I've been going to this place for so many years that I just wish they would step up their game and just \"WOW\" me. I need a good lunch spot downtown. \n\nThe reason why I still go here despite the dirty dishes is really because of one dish. I can't get it anywhere else and I can't seem to get quite like this. This one dish, a dish that was created many years ago by the original owner, is simply perfect. I love the grilled eggplant mozzarella prosciutto sandwich. It's soft, salty and crispy. The sandwich bursts with flavor and makes one forget that the plate could be kinda dirty. :)
