We really liked Papi's Pies, so I hate to say anything negative about it (but I will a little further down). First the good...the food was delicious, and very artfully prepared. I had the smoked salmon sandwich, pretty much what you'd find on a bagel at most places. Here it was served open-faced on a tasty roll. For a simple sandwich, it was very pretty, with sweet, pickled onion and capers topping it. It was picture-worthy (although I didn't take one). The sandwich itself was yummy. My SH had the side salad and a croissant. The salad was a very nice mixture of greens, and deliciously dressed. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and very good. Lunch was finished off with a slice of cherry pie, which was house-baked and very tasty. Portions on everything (except may be pie) weren't particularly generous, and price/value ratio could have been higher, but there was enough food to satisfy. The ambiance was what I'd call "shabby chic", very cute, and something that looks family-owned. Lots of vegetation outside with a large patio area. As others have noted, inside dining is very limited, with around 8 smallish tables. When full, it's pretty noisy inside too. As far as the "not so good"... when we arrived, there was a sign on the door noting that they were short-staffed that day, and it was certainly true. Our server was friendly, but clearly overwhelmed by having to serve the whole restaurant (about 8 tables), and apparently inexperienced. Service was a bit slow, but definitely confused at times, with questions about orders being directed to the wrong tables, no silverware and no napkins. One other example was that I ordered wine (which she was too young to serve herself), and asked for it several times during the meal process, and it never came (although it was still on the tab when we went to pay, even though we'd finally asked it to be removed). Would we go back? Absolutely! Papi's was fun, and the food was good. I'd expect the hiccups to be a "one off".
