Van Gogh's Ear Cafe - Union

Dinner was moderate. Nothing great, but the pasta salad is pretty good. I realized that the Ginger-Ale I drank was poured into a dirty cup as I drank it halfway. The dirt from the bottom of the cup rose and floated very disgusting upwards. Service wasn't amazing. We waited a while to order dessert and check. I wanted to order extra desserts to take home, but I didn't feel like I was giving this place more of my money.

Great place to relax and eat vegan options big coffee and desserts

My wife was here a few times and always told me she liked the atmosphere and the food. Today I have the chance to experience it for me and I am really happy that we have gone. The restaurant is qorky and strange in a very good way, comfortable and clean. The food was great and everything was fresh and clean. Pumpkin curry soup, Cubano, Mac cheese with chicken for our daughter. We ate their Mac cheese.

I've gone to this place since the 90s, and while I am? You moved away from the area? still as good as I remember. Great coffee, great food, great mood.

My daughter and I came to Van Gogh?s for a cappuccino and lunch. It was a little cleaner than 2 years ago but not much and I don?t understand why broken seats and filthy dark with dirt seats aren?t replaced and dusty fans aren?t cleaned. Even the counter where the coffee and cappuccinos are made is a bunch of junk and boxes in a glass display case and it?s just dirty. Organize it. Clean it up. Put some thing that has something to do with the restaurant in there. We gave it another shot but I will never return there again. We were greeted, told we could sit anywhere and it took a little bit to find a clean place to sit. We were having a good time just talking and hanging out and after about 10 minutes we asked if we could have menus. Finally we were told that you have to scan the QR code and pull the menu up on your phone. The QR code worked on my phone but my daughters phone didn?t so she pulled up the website for the menu. The waitress asked what we would like to order and my daughter ordered vegetarian sandwich with baby greens but she couldn?t have that because it was on the ?old? menu. We can?t go off that menu on the website because we have to use the QR code scanned menu. OK. It was the same exact sandwich except baby greens instead of vegetables. Ok so she ordered the vegetable sandwich. I ordered off the lunch special menu half a soup and a half a sandwich. I ordered white bean sausage soup, and half of a chickpea salad sandwich. The waitress came back and said it?s half a soup and a salad (THE MENU SAYS IN PRINT HALF SOUP HALF SANDWICH) so you can?t get the chickpea salad sandwich. I showed her the menu where it states says half a soup and half a sandwich, but if it?s half a soup and salad now. OK then I?ll take the soup with the chickpea salad as a salad and not a bread. She said oh but it has to be a salad! WT?..?? OK. I replied I?ll have nothing I will just drink my Pellegrino water please thank you. Seriously the whole thing was very awkward and uncomfortable. This is so strange. Then the waitress came back and said I could actually get what I ordered because she was hitting the wrong button when ringing up the order or whatever. What?? I replied, OK I?ll have whatever you give me then. She said she didn?t really know the menu because she works nights. I?ve waitressed before and I always had to know the menu. You should know your menu OR print up the menu if Van Gogh?s is going to constantly change the menu and their own staff doesn?t know what they serve or what customers can order. The chickpea salad sandwich and soup was OK. My daughter said her grilled vegetable sandwich was good. The check was $28 and my tiny bottle of Pellegrino was $3, the sandwiches and soup and 1/2 sandwich at $9 OK. The portions are ok, but again the place is dirty and needs to be cleaned and dusted. PLEASE clean the glass case that the waitresses stand at and where patrons can order coffee!! And after
