They did revamp the menu but it basically consisted of adding a few things, taking  a lot off and jacking the prices higher. It's a shame, when Berg's was closed for remodeling they kept the main cafeteria open and it has waaaay more selections like a fresh sandwich station, pizza and a hot bar. The riverfront area is beautiful but Berg's is really just a reduced function hospital cafeteria. They aren't hurting any of the places around there, you get a lot more for your money off campus, plus a lot of the local places like Gibb's deliver to St. V's. Employees don't even get a discount at the hospital.

QuoteToo bad the city has kept them so isolated from all of the other riverfront activity.  If possible, I'd love to see the riverwalk go from St Vincents to the stadium. Or further.

I'd settle for baby steps and fixing the southbank river walk and fountain first. Let's see how the city does at FIXING problems before creating new ones with throwing out owner's rights on the river to extend the riverwalk.

How big of a hole is the city deficit again? Money in the budget for riverwalks, when we have 12% unemployment?
