Good food, simple fare, not great service

Review of The Veggie Table
3

Food: Simple (things like sandwiches, soups, pasta). It's tasty in a home cuisine kind of way. Some people say they're left hungry, but they must eat a lot - I couldn't get through some dishes (e.g. the curry pasta, or the 'vegan stink-out') and I'm a six foot 180 pound man. It's not amazing, but it's nice for a cafe.

Pricing: Seriously expensive for Beijing. I don't mind so much because I don't mind paying for things that go in my body, but many could not afford this.

Atmosphere: Really nice, but I'd never sit on those couches again, they hurt my back. Pick a normal table.

Service: Friendly but just lousy. There's one good head waitress and I have learned to flag her - everyone else forgets things. Irrespective of who I flag, the food can take 40 minutes to arrive, even when it's only moderately busy (not packed). In China this is essentially a lifetime. There's simply no excuse for it.

I really only go regularly because I live around the corner.
