We visited the Water Street Cafe for the first time yesterday and were sorely disappointed. When we asked if we could order to go, we were told that if we sat down to eat, we would get our food faster than if we got it to go. We sat down and ordered. I didn't get asked what I wanted to drink; I was automatically brought water. We waited for fifty minutes for our food. Granted, the restaurant was fairly busy, but all we ordered were sandwiches. The waitress had no idea what was going on and constantly huffed, puffed and complained about how busy it was. She never once asked how our food was or if we would like more to drink, and forget about asking if we wanted dessert (no one else checked on us, either). We heard her tell one lady who asked for help that she was too busy to help her. We waited a further forty minutes for our check to be received and processed. Needless to say, we will not be going back to the Water Street Cafe. If you want awesome food for about the same price (cheaper in some cases) with wonderful service and a cool atmosphere, go to Cru or Octane. Don't bother with the Water Street Cafe.
