I consider myself a bit of a breakfast diner connoisseur and so I was kind of disappointed in Blondes Diner, also having enjoyed some really great diner experiences in my life.
Taking into account the fact that they've only been open a week or so, the service was super slow for a Monday afternoon. The servers looked flustered and confused and kept refilling my coffee without asking.
The menu was disappointing because I had such high hopes from the now famous chef. I got the "Mission" breakfast, which is just bacon and eggs, hashbrowns and toast. I asked for medium poached eggs and got hard. They offered me jam and ketchup made in house, but I could swear it was just ketchup and marmalade from Safeway. The quantities they gave me were also unsatisfactory.
All told, the servers meant well and were very personable and the food was tasty enough that I might consider going back since it's so close to where I live and I sometimes get uncontrollable breakfast cravings.
In my opinion, until they get their act together, it's best to stick with Mission Diner just down 4th street a couple blocks. The food is better, cheaper and the service is the best.
UPDATE: I've been back twice since my first visit and I can honestly say they've stepped up their game. They hired the cute/amazing server from Red's (Danny, I think her name is?) and it seems like the menu has changed. So far I've exclusively ordered the Mission Breakfast because it's cheaper and fills me up and it keeps getting tastier and tastier. I finally got to try their in house apple butter jam and spicy ketchup and it was YUM. So give them a try!
