I used to go to cafe gratitude all the time before the pandemic and Friday went back after awhile, only because I live 50 miles away. But it just wasn’t the same. Even the food, everything lacked luster and the appeal that it once held. Felt like a chain restaurant and not the one off special place it used to be for me. They changed the food serving plate to an oval plate and it’s so off putting, something like you’d get at one of those cheaper restaurant chains.
