    I have been to B Cafe a few times and the service remains the issue. From the moment my group arrived (4 of us) to the time we left, the service was AWFUL. When we first arrived, no one greeted us and I had to find someone to take care of us (we had a reservation). We were sat in the back garden enclosed area and the woman who sat us seemed very annoyed to have to do so. We waited for about 20 minutes and when no one came over, I flagged down a server who appeared very bored and was just standing around looking at the tables. He took our orders and even the drinks took way too long to come (about 15 minutes). After about 45 minutes passed, we asked our server (once we could find him) where our food was and it arrived shortly thereafter. He apologized, but it was insincere. There were a few other tables of people, all of whom seemed quite frustrated with the lack of service. The food is mediocre, but I won't be back. 3 strikes and you're out!

    A local, comfortable, hole in the wall that we enjoyed to the extent that its limited menu allowed.
