| - Popped in to Mitzi's around 11:30am on a holiday Monday, and while there was a lengthy line for a seat on the patio, there was a small 2-top available inside. Too hungry to wait, we opted for the free table, oblivious to the fact that it was swelteringly hot and stuffy inside (although, to my dismay, this would become clear to me very shortly after sitting down).
After we were seated, we proceeded to wait about half an hour for anyone to even come over to our table and explain the menu (there are no menus, only the chalkboard up front). Then we waited again for someone to come back and take our order, after which we waited another 30 minutes or so for our food to come out. The combination of hot and hungry isn't a good one for me, so I was hoping that my food would at least be worth it.
I opted for the omelette special -- balsamic roasted portobello mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese with a corn and tomato relish. It came with the option of rye or sourdough toast, some fruit, and homefries. While the omelette itself was decent, the homefries tasted old and waxy, and for $14, the portions are a touch on the small side for brunch. My boyfriend had the breakfast special and requested his eggs over easy, and they came out completely overcooked, with only the slightest hint of runny yolk.
Service seemed totally disorganized, with the cooks coming out of the kitchen to clear tables and deliver plates, and dirty plates left on tables for far too long. As others have mentioned, location is great and the space is lovely; it's a shame that my high hopes were dashed by the food and the service.
Note that Mitzi's is no longer cash only, and does accept debit and credit cards.
