| - I've been to Steve's a number of times and I feel like I'm consistently just a little underwhelmed by.
I recently went for lunch with both my brother, and our dad. Just walking in, there's nothing particularly engaging or interesting about the restaurant itself, but admittedly, that's not a big deal. We sat down and were quickly greeted by a cheery waiter who politely took our orders.
The menu is fairly big and even though I heavily considered pancakes or a crepe, I ended up going for a simple meal: just two eggs over easy with hash browns and toast.
My dad and brother each ordered a different variation of omelette (they have quite a few options).
Our food came out relatively quickly, albeit without my brothers coffee, and looked pretty appealing. In all honesty, the eggs over easy were cooked PERFECTLY. The whites were solid but soft and the liquid gold yolk just oozed out when I cut into the eggs. On the other hand, I was definitely let down by the home fries. I thought their taste was lacklustre and the texture of most pieces was a bit too mushy for my liking. I wished they were cut smaller and cooked to have a more crisp exterior. The taters still tasted good, but certainly had room for improvement. Near the end of the meal our server must have remembered my brothers coffee and brought it over, but we were practically finished our plates at that point. Other than that, the service was fine.
I wish Yelp would let me give this restaurant a solid 2.5 stars. The eggs were great, but the rest of the dining experience was fairly generic and I was surprised how costly our bill came out to be (luckily pops picked up the cheque). I'd go back again as long as Dad is still buying! :P
