  1. I took my son and father-in-law here for brunch after checking out the baby panda. Unfortunately, they were woefully understaffed and completely overwhelmed by a modest brunch crowd; the place was never more than 30% full. It took quite a while to put our order in and an hour (!) to get our food. At least one group near us gave up and left. Luckily, my hungry three year old was in a good mood. I joked with my FIL that despite the 45-60 minute wait at Open City, we actually would've eaten sooner there. When the food finally did come, it was quite tasty. But it wasn't tasty enough to risk another service breakdown quite like that. I don't think I'll return.
  2. When my wife and I discuss our favorite neighborhood places, Rose's doesn't usually come to mind first. It's too widely popular--and was so almost from the beginning--to feel like we have some special claim to it. That said, I've found Rose's no-reservations policy has allowed me, as a neighbor, to eat there more often. Picking a date two months in advance would require too much foresight and effort, and make it feel like even less of a neighborhood place. Instead, we can go at 6:00 to put our name in after the line has cleared, then go home to wait for the text while, say, doing the laundry. On a random Monday or Tuesday we can expect to get a text by 7:45. I don't know if it would occur to me to do that at one of the places described above, even if it were possible.
  3. My wife and I go to Elephant Jumps for lunch whenever we're out that way on the weekend. And we always order those dishes. I don't think I could long go without the hung lay and spicy tuna curries
