I attended a charity event at the Atrium Cafe last night. When I retrieved my work bag at the end of the evening, my keys were missing and then quickly returned being told that they "fell" out. Fine, things were a bit hectic, but when I went through my bag, I noticed that my $200+ iPod was gone. Imagine my surprise when the next day I was told that, I'm out of luck, thank you very much, have a nice day and by the way, the men were very upset to be searched and accused of stealing. Bottom line? Can't say much about the food, but beware the attitude of a restaurant that believes the customer is never right... I hope this review keeps more than the $200 for the ipod of business away. It's the only way powerless customers can fight back!
