I should have listened. The food was really good but I can't get past the rude older gentleman waiter. It was so uncomfortable that we ate and ran. There are way too many other places to go. No way would we go back. It really is too bad because this place has potential.

Nice people, limited menu, bad food. Itâs only saving grace is that itâs on Airport Road, where there are a number of much better restaurantsHi Roberta. We're sorry you had a bad experience somewhere, but since Raduno isn't on Airpot Road, maybe you had that experience somewhere else?

Came here for brunch with friends that live nearby. Interesting location but super fun. It was incredibly busy on a Saturday morning, so that has to be good! I highly recommend reservations for a peak day. The food was amazing! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our orders.

The name might fool you into thinking it's a vegetarian restaurant, but it isn't. There are some vegetarian options and gluten free (maybe gluten "friendly" might be more accurate). I has a salad with chicken and my husband had the soup and sandwich option. The largest size soup isn't all that much more money than the bowl of soup and probably worth selecting if you have a big appetite. The waitress took our order without writing it down and I was impressed with that until she got the wrong soup and had to replace it. They seem to specialize in baked goods, but I can't say how good they are because we didn't have any. The baked items are made elsewhere.

Took a friend here today. Her first visit and I told her how delicious the food is. Ordered a skillet breakfast that included asparagus, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoâs, potatoes, spinach, cheese and two eggs on top. Sounds delicious doesnât it? Well it had no taste whatsoever. Very disappointing. My friend ordered an omelette which she said was ok. Sadly I donât think Iâll be back.

This place is well known and you have to time it right because it is always busy. That is because they make such an interesting array of sandwiches, salads and soups. They always have several specials. The problem is deciding what to eat. I took a menu home so that I could make some of these creative sandwiches. A great place!

Quaint French Bistro serving Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch and Weekend Bistro Dinners.

We arrived here close to 9 am on a Sunday and they were already on a wait so it is popular.The food is very very good; omelettes that are authentically made, wonderful coffee, and delicious slipper bread toast comes with the meal. They have changed their menu and we miss the peasant omelette and the French omelette. But we had the herb omelette with cheese and it is very good- we just liked the old entrees that had been on the menu more.The service needs a tune up as there were long gaps in getting waited on when finally seated after about 45 minute wait ( and then it took us at least 10-15 min to get a glass of water and order coffee and we had to follow up to get little things like cream with the coffee and there are no spoons in the table for stirring). The cleaning and turning of tables even when vacated takes a long time and restaurant is pretty small so you cannot be in a hurry. That being said, we still like the food. Hope service can get back on its game again and they put some old favorites back on menu.

We ordered two scramble wraps, two lattes, and two slices of pie. They struggled with basic customer service skills (acknowledging the customer) and had poor work flow. We received the wraps first. Average at best (2stars) and will not need to return for breakfast again. The pie slices came next. We finished our wraps before we got the chai lattes. There was a small crowd- just internal struggles on a system. The phone rang and even that took 7-8 rings to answer. The pie is good (4 of 5) which pulled the review up to a 3. Iâd definitely go back for a slice of pie but would skip breakfast and probably this branch of the chain.Hi Danstromd, thank you very much for visiting our original location on West Front Street. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your slices of pie but I'm very sorry to hear we dropped the ball on the rest of your experience. I'd love to have our General Manager contact you to personally follow up and invite you back in on us. Would you mind sending me your phone number or email address? My direct email is [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and for letting us know. - Erin, GT Pie Social Media Manager
