I'm sorry but I was putting this off for a long time. I've gotten way too many private messages thanking me for my previous review so I gotta update to reflect my past experience, lest I lead somebody astray.
In regards to my previous review's high rating, I'll quote this English proverb to explain; "Appetite is the best sauce."
I went here on 11/14/10 with James L. for breakfast before we headed off to church - to end our two day date. I had raved and raved about how much I loved this restaurant so he took me to eat here. Big mistake.
Anyway, we both got the AYCE breakfast, and he also got, if I remember correctly, orange juice - I started with the steak and eggs and he got... I forgot. For his second dish, he ordered the peanut butter and banana wrap and hated it. He said it tasted like just peanut butter. I spent most of the time trying to flag down our very inattentive waiter (guy with glasses serving the tables closest to the bar and musicians at about 10:20 AM) so I could get something else to eat once my plate had been cleared by another waiter. I tried the cheese blintz for my second dish and they were quite yummy. My third dish I ordered the lox hold the bagel. The lox was CRISPY on the edges, as if it had been sitting out for a long time, they included no cream cheese or capers either this time. I couldn't finish it.
I was embarrassed and disappointed that I had raved over this place only to have James hate the food and we got super lousy service... for $50 - tip included. Yikes. :'-( You let me down Republic!
