| - First time visiting this restaurant looking forward to all the great things I've heard about it.
It's quite a trip, all the way on the other side of the town.
Decided to go early Friday morning, July 6, 2012 around 7:30am.
Not one other person was in the place when I entered and a young girl greeted me and asked if I was there to eat (what else would I do there ?) and then asked if I wanted a drink.
She served my coffee and walked away. There was no spoon. I asked her for a spoon. She came back and I then had to ask her for sugar, there was no sugar on any of the tables. The coffee was nearly cold and had specks of milk floating in it that did not dissolve.
I told her to get me another coffee. This one came very hot and as bitter as any coffee I've ever tasted, in fact it tasted, not exaggerating, very much like chemicals. I didn't drink it and asked for water.
I ordered the Red Velvet Pancakes, supposedly a signature dish of theirs. It came slathered in butter with a garnish of one old strawberry with brown leafs, definitely not fresh. The young girl asked if I needed anything else and I said yes, syrup would be good with my pancakes. (Not very observant, this one). She served one small hand-poured plastic cup, about 1 oz. and walked away. It was the last time she came over to me. She never checked to see if I needed more coffee ( I never bothered telling her the second cup was worse than the first ), she never asked if everything was OK ( it wasn't, I ate the last half of my not-too-good pancakes dry ), despite the fact that no other customers were in the store and she was sitting and chatting with another young girl (the chef ?) just two tables away.
Extremely disappointed I took this 20 mile ride to the other side of town for such a crappy place with bad food and with ridiculously bad service.
