We went there for the first time yesterday, and I would definitely recommend Spartan Pizza. Here's why:\n- the crust is thin, crunchy on the bottom, chewy on top\n- the sauce is sweet and savory\n- the cheese is rich and delicious\n- the veggies were fresh and tasty\n\nWe ordered the Canadian bacon deluxe (with onions...

Coffee is fine, although I agree with Laura F. below. Service has always been VERY slow, despite 3 baristas working at the counter. I'd recommend not stopping here on your way to work, but its an OK place to pick up a latte on the weekend or get a bottle of wine.

I was intrigued when I heard that there was a place that combined a liquor store with a coffee shop. I don't know that the 2 necessarily compliment each other... In fact, the counters for both have their backs to each other.\n\nIn any event, they have a good selection that is fun to browse through, and they make a dece...

They should call it S&M Wine & Spirits. The worst of the Barriques around.... The attitude from the girls working there! They do everything they can to make you feel you are beneath them.

It doesn't match the layout of the other Barriques and the seating area is a little cramped and sparse. Still serves the great coffee that I have come to know and love but unlike their other cafe's, the staff is a little surly and indifferent at times.

Not sure why I keep deciding to come back here. Rice is rock hard and has no flavor, along with most of the other food on the half-empty buffet trays. $10.50 for a plate of stale food and a drink that they forget to refill? No thanks.

I've been back here several times since my first review, and have been continually impressed with Prairie. The food is always spot on and the atmosphere is so comfortable.

I desperately needed some lunch and came on this gem. I had the Almond Chicken Salad sandwich on a fresh 7-grain bagette with corn & bean salad. The sandwich was amazing. I didn't really care for the salad, but that didn't taint my experience.

This is a local bar and not a fine dining restaurant, but they have a very friendly staff and serve a great Friday night all you can eat fish fry. If you can get past the noise level and the plain and simple accommodations, you will enjoy the food and the service.
