I like B.J. Pumpernickel's too.  It was great when they used to have
the Capital Klezmers playing there some weeknights.

I had 1 bad experience there, though.  I ordered a capuccino, and when
I tasted it I immediately knew that it was instant coffee.  I asked the
waitress about it, and she said that it was *really* capuccino, from
a capuccino MIX!  It was instant coffee!  I sent it back, and was really
shocked that an otherwise excellent and reputable place like that would
stoop to foist such a deception on its customers.  Or, maybe worse, that
they themselves couldn't taste the difference between instant and the
real thing.

I was excited to see their healthy specials on the menu, so tried a couple.
The vegetarian chili was horrible.  I think it had a lot of celery and
*no* tomato.  Also, it was just slopped on the plate in a very
unattractive manner.

What I really love to have there is their matzo ball soup.  Omelettes
are excellent, too.  I still enjoy going there, I'm just more careful
now.
