| - This place COULD be really, really good... but it's basically just OK and not worth the money. The place obviously uses high-quality ingredients and has some nice ideas on the menu, but the cooking is a bit sloppy, and the atmosphere wasn't for me. I'll give it another try when I have a hangover - maybe that's the right fit.
Went here with the wife & toddler on a Saturday morning.
Food
---------------------------
I had the Wolfpack - Eggs, Cheese, Bacon sandwiched between layers of hashbrowns - and a slice of french toast. The wife had blueberry pancakes and bacon, and chocolate chip pancakes for the little one. 2 coffees, an OJ, and an apple juice ($35 before tax/tip - mildly high for breakfast).
My wolfpack was generally yummy, but the eggs were a total disappointment. A place called Over Easy should be able to make eggs over easy, right? Nope. Fried egg (no sign of liquidity or even softness in the yolk). The french toast was made of an obviously high-quality brioche, but hardly battered and neither soaked nor cooked through. Bummer - woulda been really good :-(. The blueberry pancakes were tasty, but one was uncooked - literally cut in and watch batter run out. Bacon was thick, high-quality, cooked nicely, and generally good, but nothing special.
Service
---------------------------
No real wait and seated fairly promptly, if clumsily. Hostess was pleasant, but seemed a bit confused/frazzled. Server was prompt. We did not have any issues, but the staff seemed, frankly, a bit depressed. Not a lot of smiles except from two guys apparently expediting (looked like brothers - maybe owners family?).
Atmosphere:
---------------------------
This is probably someone's lifestyle or keep-the-kids-busy business. It's a relatively small dining room - not sure if they use the connected area (a sister place called 18 Degrees) for breakfast - with small octagonal white tile - Who uses white tile in a restaurant? I'm sure they mop every night, but it was looking like a public restroom floor when we got there. The decor is sort of retro/weathered, but just looked confused. The staff was made up of mostly young servers/bussers wearing simple company t-shirts and jeans (some of the ladies wore shorts). The male staff was noticeably unkempt (maybe that's just fashionable these days) with long, uncombed haircuts that had you looking for hair in your plate. Lots 3-day shadows with untucked shirts and ripped jeans - with the notable exception the aforementioned expediters - one of whom wore a red shirt (all other staff in black) and a hat. Interesting. Noticeably, most of the staff seemed a bit down (not bad, just low energy, not having fun) - with the exception of the two brothers who seemed to be having a good time - but not exactly working a lot. It really doesn't seem like a for-profit business to be honest. I suspect it's a great place to be when hungover.
