Bacon Burger: the bread is just right (in my opinion) for the burger. The patty was properly seasoned, and the ingredients were fresh. Caesar Salad: Good lettuce size, with adequate salad dressing added, and basically what you can expect from a Caesar salad. My thoughts: portion size was great, and there are specials throughout the week on the menu for a good price. Can be busy during rush hours, but overall the café is well managed. Thank you City Hall Café!

The line up can be long at peak times, even extending beyond the door of the cafeteria. Food offerings are very reasonably priced and affordable. Food is not bad. Staff are helpful, but not out of their way friendly. Very crowded during lunch with no tables left, however, there is seating outdoors. Food is prepared within 5-15 minutes, depending on item and time. Disposable wooden cutlery is available, self-serve. There is a coffee machine, but it is sometimes out of service.
