"Danger Will Robinson" -- Bad Places to Eat

[W2M]

Jim White's Cafe on Central.
when I read something about Busters going bust and this new place going in, I decided to give it a try yest for dinner.
Building is cleaned up, inside is quite nice, beautiful lighting.
Experience:
***I got breakfast, a cheese and bacon omelet. Only white bread for toast, was not buttered and didnt come with butter... that was annoying.
***there was a smear of green chili on my plate as well as what looked like some sort of mushroom... like the grill or spatula is pretty much a mess and not cleaned often...
*** worst of all was that the kitchen and wait staff were constantly yelling at each other and/ not attending to business.
*** They ran out of burger buns and could only offer white bread (I eavesdropped on the next table)

The food was nothing to to write about, really... I cant recommend it.

I got some carryout last night for dinner. Maybe that was you at the only occupied table when I was there.... I ordered the penne pasta with meat sauce. Came with a salad and garlic bread. I enjoyed it, although there wasn't enough sauce. (murphy's law, the biscuits and the jam never come out even)

Previously I dined in and had the enchiladas with beef, and enjoyed them. To me, seemed like decent food, decent price, not as outstanding as I would have thought considering some of the raves that Jim White was back in Nob Hill.

Back in the day (the day of Fat Humphreys or just Humphreys), they made this red chile stew with pork that was phenomenal. Not for July, but in November, it was the Bomb.

I just had lunch there. We had a nice, pretty generous dinner salad alongside a stupendous gorganzola/eggplant pizza. We loved the pizza and would highly recommend it.

I thought the service was totally spotty. We were sharing dishes and both the salad and pizza came out on one big plate with no plates to dine on. Both times we had to ask for that. And I'm always surprised when ice tea tastes mediocre. It seems really easy to make good ice tea these days, so there seems no excuse. So our review: thumbs up on the food, spend a little more time working on the customer interaction.
