| - The food was good; the deviled eggs were amazing and the truffle egg sandwich was good, but a little stingy with the feta. The coffee was quite good (Mothership Coffee).
The two issues I have are the restaurant space and the service. The restaurant is a hip, urban eatery with the requisite black ceiling, hewn wood, and minimalist booths paired with vintage looking chairs. Nice. But it's loud. It has a show kitchen where you can see the staff work, and the sounds coming out are to be expected. Since there are all hard surfaces (ceiling, cement floor) the sound carries, but again, that's ok. What made it uncomfortable was the music which added to the din. We were there at opening time on Sunday morning, and the music was turned up to industrial levels. It was difficult to talk to my husband, and I missed a few things the server said. I just wish the volume was a little lower.
The other issue is the service. Our server was reasonably polite, and that's good, but there were just too many workers there at that time without enough to do, so they wouldn't give us time to enjoy our breakfast. Our server checked back right away to see how we were doing, which I appreciate, but what really bothered me is that the check was plopped down on our table before we were half done with our meals. She said 'No rush', but it sure felt like it. There were only four other occupied tables in the place, and no line waiting for a seat. Three other servers refilled our coffee and water enough, but each time asked us if we wanted to-go boxes and tried to clear our plates before we were half done. I noticed it happening at another table as well. Whatever you do, don't put down your fork and stop to savor your food because someone will attempt to take it away from you regardless of how much is left on your plate. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to enjoy my breakfast, but the noise and the servers gave a sense of urgency to get out of there. If we had been there for an hour and was taking a table away from other people waiting, I would understand, but we weren't. We spent $48 (including tip) on breakfast for two, and were only there for about 45 minutes which included being seated, looking at the menu, ordering, eating, and drinking coffee. This isn't supposed to be a fast food joint. We might come back for the deviled eggs, but I doubt it.
