Review of Cafe Benelux

A group of 7 is us ate here this past Friday night...

A group of 7 is us ate here this past Friday night (8/16) I had guests in from Romania. They wanted to see some sights downtown, so after we walked around a bit we just walked over and got seated right away. There were plenty of inside tables open at 8:00pm The rooftop was too long of a wait for us( 45 min so not horrible) but too long for us as my guests were leaving that night after dinner so we opted to eat outside where they have a few tables curbside. The food was very good - most said it was delicious! And brought out pretty quickly for our party size. The major complaint I have was with our waiter. I can't remember his name- maybe Adam? My guests had some questions about the menu.They speak very fluent English , but needed help with a few things. Our waiter seemed put off to answer their questions almost annoyed at times and condescending. The other frustrating thing was that he never refilled our drinks (4 waters , 1 coke and 2 ice teas) even after we asked multiple times for refills. I myself asked at least 2 times. I would have understood this more if it had been super busy but like I mentioned- it was not packed at all! We stayed about an 1 1/2 hours and also got a dessert. So- only 1 drink each for that long of a time. Also, someone in my party ordered the Impossible burger. Our waiter informed us that Burger King just bought the rights to it and he could not order it? Really?? Why is it still on the menu? So he had to choose something else which he ended up not liking. Everyone else seemed pretty satisfied with their food. I myself got the 6 spice salmon which I thought was good. Decent place but servers need to step it up! Maybe not the best place to take out of Towners/ foreigners.
