| - It was packed and popular on Sunday morning for good reason. Nothing was mindblowing or extraordinary, but it was very well done and left me happy. You do have to approach the menu deliberately to get the maximum satisfaction, which is why this rates a 4 and not a 5.
The coffee comes in stainless steel thermos-mugs, and is fresh and tasty. I got the applewood smoked bacon benedict, and it was simple and very well done. The grits it came with weren't to my liking, but then maybe that's just because I'd never had grits before and didn't know I didn't like them. The fruit bowl on the side was a little bit underwhelming; for $3.50 I'd expect a little more than a very small bowl of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew. Not bad, just overpriced.
My girlfriend got the bananas foster french toast. It was really tasty, but definitely a dessert and hard for her to stomach as a whole breakfast.
What really impressed me was just watching the people work. I sat at the bar, where I had a good view of the bartender and the kitchen. I watched as the cooks poached the eggs, as they made their bananas foster in small fresh batches, as they cooked each slice of bacon to individual perfection. I observed the bartender pouring bloody mary after bloody mary with such generous helpings of vodka it was hard to believe. The bartender wasn't showy, but he paid close attention to his drinks, to the cleanliness of his glasses, and to the customers sitting in front of him.
I would definitely return again. When I do, we'll probably order a french toast to split and one of the various eggs benedict meals, and skip any extra sides. (When you split, don't get an extra plate though, they charge dearly for that.)
