In Short
The quaint cafe upholds equal value on atmosphere and food. Convene in various dining areas--two outside patios, or the traditional French brasserie room. A wide variety of appetizers are available consisting of tomato bruschetta, crab cakes, steamed mussels and crab meat tostadas. Spicy Thai chicken pizza is a favorite among guests. Stuff yourself with the bread pudding, or one of the other dozen hand-crafted desserts.

i was so disappointed because my mom, me, grandma, sister, niece, and aunt went there to have lunch for my birthday celebration. we don't get to do this very often and the people there acted like they were so much better than us - very very rude waitress....the food was not good and overpriced!! i will NOT go back and would tell anyone not to waste your time or money!! I think this place thinks that just because they're on the plaza - they don't have to be nice - WRONG!! There are other restaurants on the plaza that are good and have courteous service!

My husband and I could not disagree more with the 12/30/08 review of the Classic Cup, especially about their policies and discrimination comments. We dine at this "favorite spot for many" on a regular basis and have never encountered any of the complaints that were written about this Award-Winning Restaurant. Our two granddaughters (3 & 1) accompany us frequently and are treated with much kindness. The children fit right in, as this is a family-friendly place to dine. The children enjoy the delicious food provided for their age group. Our family enjoys dining in the Cellar, as well, with its marble floor, cherry wine racks, service bar and at night, candles. The food and service has always remained exemplary in both the upstairs dining room and the Celler. Regretably, the cellar is only available for open business on the winter holidays and sometimes for Sunday brunch when the deck is closed. The rest of the time, I understand it is reserved for private parties. Now...regarding the staff, I think it says a lot for the management of the Classic Cup to have a high percentage that have been with them from 5-15 years. We absolutely rate the staff a "10". I need say no more. We thank each of the staff and management of the Classic Cup for making "eating out" a pleasant experience for the whole famiy.

The policy of this establishment that was stated to me over the phone today by the owner as he stumbled over his words is that any party larger than 4 will be seated in their so called Classic Cellar. This is basically the dark basement of the establishment. This policy is not listed on their boastful web site or on the door of the establishment or on their menu they so proudly display in the window. We spent $100 to be seated in what we were told was the party room on Nov. 29,2008. We had 4 children between the ages of 12 and 16. We were taken down at least 3 sets of stairs passed a door that went outside to the alley. The food was nothing special and the owner must think it is fine dinning based on the price. The 2 adults in the party had their $8 black bean chili which is basically bean soup and the bill was still $100. The service was slow and refills on drinks were far and few between of course the waiter had to run up the steps. The night manager very sorry and stated he didn't want anyone to feel that they were discriminated against and he would take care of us if we would return. He never sent anything out so when I called to check I was able to speak to the owner. He thinks his establishment is so good that you are honored to eat there. I think they are discriminating against families with children. Everyone seated in the basement were parties of 4 and larger. The interesting thing I noticed was everyone had children. The owner said the only way he discriminates is that he seats all parties of 5 and larger in his wonderful classic cellar. Most restaurants that have open tables of 4 or 2 will pull together. We didn't get a reduced rate to be in a cellar and not enjoy the candles on the table and the view of the plaza and the Christmas decorations. He stated his regulars that have children are seated up in the dinning area. Interesting his regulars another discriminating statemant
