The food was absolutely amazing, but the service was horrible. My friends and I sat ourselves and wait for fifteen minutes and no one came to our table to take our orders. There were dirty plates from the people before us that no one cleared off. We had to go up and tell them we were ready to order. After we ordered, all of our orders came at different times. After our meal we had to go up again to say we were ready for the check because no one was coming around to check on us. After we finally received the checks they again never came to pick them up and instead stayed in the back doing busy work until we called them out to take our money. It wasnt even a busy day and they had enough people working. The food is wonderful, but I wouldnt go back because of how poor the service was. This has happened to me both times that I have gone there.

This is one of my new favorite spots! Great menu (European Cafe/Bistro style setting), very friendly staff, and to-die-for scones. I dinged them one star because of the confusing service model. If staying to eat versus ordering to go, servers bring ice water (sometimes) and coffee upon request, but refills are "on you" at the water station near the front counter. Not sure yet how to get coffee refilled. Anyway, prices are reasonable, so stop by and check them out for yourself!

208 seems like a coffee shop walking in, but the food was definitely restaurant quality, and incredibly reasonably priced, trending towards cheap. A very relaxed and mellow atmosphere that would be equally perfect for a nice family dinner or a quick meal while working on a term paper.

Best coffee ever! Iced caramel macchiato is my go-to when I need a pick-me-up. Their sandwiches and pastries are delicious as well (highly recommend the turkey pesto panini and zucchini bread)! Great place to grab lunch or study away from campus, and friendly staff!

Didnt stay to eat because of the overwhelmingly strong fumes in the restaurant. Every table we tried to sit at was dirty. We decided to have a beer, but the keg popped after one glass of nastiness, and only the absent owner can change a keg... Overall a huge fail.

This place is my lunch sanctuary! The food is super reasonable, and always amazing and like Id make at home. Never anything canned or pre-done. Just a really great little place. Everyone I bring here always ends up coming back.

A fun atmosphere with great food and snacks. You can stop in to grab a snack, sit down and order from the menu, or just grab a bottle of wine to take home. If you are looking for a quick stop by PLU this is a great place to go.

They have a great selection of different foods. Paninis, salad, pasta, etc. They also have selections of small plates and desserts. The drinks are good. And the atmosphere is great :) The staff are very friendly.

208 is a good place to eat, study, and relax. They have fantastic food for decent prices (good for college students), its a nice environment that doesnt get too loud, but you can still talk with friends.

This little place has good food and beverages. The service is fair when busy and exceptional when quiet. The cost is fair, average.

Their wine options burn, but they do have great food for reasonable prices, especially during happy hours.
