We stopped here on the way out of town for lunch, thinking it looked cute and since Function is very local, it would be better quality (like the Wild Wood that used to be out there, or Alpine Cafe up north of town). Looked very nice inside and the menu seemed to promise good food. I ordered a falafel wrap, and my husband ordered a burrito. The waitress seemed pretty tense, even thought it appeared to only be moderately busy, and there were some folks who looked as though they were just sharing some coffee and visiting. Food took FOREVER, and when we got it, was a complete disappointment. Falafel wrap tasted like plain polenta/tamale cornmeal filling, no crispy outsides, no tzatziki, wrapped in a store bought tortilla. The "home fries" were barely warm, much less crisp. Husbands burrito was a skinny, sad, overcooked looking mess, with chicken rubbery. When I asked the waitress "aren't falafels supposed to be at least cooked or crispy on the outside", and did I even get the right thing, she coldly responded "that's the chef's "take" on falafel, I should have told you when you ordered" and claimed it was a chickpea and hummus blend , but I'm telling you, it was polenta! And after we got our food - that table that looked like they were just havin' some coffee? They got their food, s l o w l y, one dish at at time, not everyone at once. The last woman finally said "just put mine in a box" because her companions were almost done. The tension mentioned in the other review was noticeable - this staff does not know how to smoothly operate a SMALL restaurant. I think this place is destined to close, and we will definitely not be going back. Should have gone north to Alpine, it is ALWAYS super delicous, no matter how busy.
