Review of Zaftigs

zaftigs, on the site of the defunct jack & marian'...

zaftigs, on the site of the defunct jack & marian's, varies from day to day & hour to hour. if you come at off-peak hours with a party of 2-3, you should be okay. if, however, you come on a weekend, particularly thanksgiving weekend, the wait will be lengthy & noise level immense. the restaurant staff also varies. some seem to be plucked directly from local colleges with no apparent training. management can be indifferent. the last time i was at zaftigs, baked potatoes had been deleted from the menu & non-alcoholic beer not replenished. (not good for the vegetarians among us.) other menu items can be quite tasty. one of my guests ordered the macaroni & cheese & loved it. another person ordered an omelet & a salad, but had to ask for the toast & a fork. as a former waitress, i hold my breath whenever my guests want to dine at zaftigs. i never know what we'll be met with.
