| - Heard about this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. After looking over the menu online and reading their story, I had rather high expectations, which were heightened further when I heard "You Gotta Eat Here" was going to be filmed there the following week. Unfortunately, these weren't quite realized. The restaurant was a little difficult to find, as there wasn't a sign at the entrance to the plaza and we weren't quite sure which way to go. The decor was really cute and we had no trouble getting a table (but we did come early). Neither one of us was quite hungry enough for a big breakfast, so I ordered 3 of the mini waffles and my boyfriend got the french toast fondue. He also ordered fresh orange juice to start before his coffee, which never came. The waitress was very friendly but it looks like they're still finding their groove on the staffing front, which is normally the case with new restaurants. When the food case, a different server brought our order and I ended up with 4 mini waffles instead of the 3 I ordered (which I did get charged for when the bill came). The cortado my boyfriend ordered (and talked the waitress through the process of making properly) also wasn't quite what it should be. My waffles were ok but a bit dry because, it turns out, they only come with a sprinkling of icing sugar. I did order a fruit compote as a topping but it came on the side in a tiny little bowl and was only enough for one of the waffle pieces. This is not something the server advised me about. There was no maple syrup provided (it wasn't even an option to order as a topping on the menu). Overall, I found the experience disappointing in light of my expectations. It was ok and we might give them another try for the eggs and duck fat hash once they get their groove a bit. For the time being, however, when I look at the type of food and the price range, I've had better.
