| - I think the thing that stands out for me from Marigold is the service. Yes, the have absolutely delicious food and the coffee is great. The atmosphere is cozy-casual, but man, the service made the experience for me.
I have an aversion to onions. I don't have an allergy, but I do not like them in any form, not raw, not caramelized, not pickled, no way, no how do I eat onions. And at Marigold I want to order the breakfast sandwich which comes with a fried egg, cheddar-spiked boursin, applewood smoked bacon, tomato and green onion on toasted ciabatta. I asked for no green onions. While they aren't on my strict no-onions list I still choose not to have them when possible. However, they were mixed in with the cheddar-spiked boursin and therefore not removable. I hemmed and hawed but the man at the counter said it would be good and if it wasn't he would give me something else so I took it.
I ended up eating about half of it, not because I didn't like it, but just because I was full. However, the man from the counter came over toward the end of our breakfast and expressed concern about the amount of the sandwich I hadn't eaten. He tried to get me to order something else and apologized if I didn't enjoy my breakfast. I did, in fact, enjoy my breakfast. But, man. The fact that he remembered me and checked in based on how much I ate was really nice. And so, I'd go back for the service if nothing else. But, in reality I'd also go back to try the pancakes because those looked fantastic.
