| - My wife and I stopped by for breakfast last Sunday morning.
I had a biscuit with a fried egg, bacon and cheese and a side of the roots hash and a cup of coffee. The biscuit was pretty good... probably the star of the experience for us. The hash was a combination of roasted root vegetables and was pretty tasty, but could have used a bit of salt (and we couldn't find salt available in the dining room). $9 for a biscuit, however tasty, is pretty steep, though. Maybe if the hash had been included, it would have been a fair price, but they hit you another $3 for the hash. The coffee was well roasted, brewed and of a good quality, but I'd bet it was a Mexican single-origin... it was pretty one-note.
My wife had the lemon cream pizelles with a side of crispy bacon (we specifically asked for it crispy and the guy taking the order spent some time typing in notes (I assume), so the request made it back to the kitchen). She liked the pizelles, but the bacon came out limp, so we sent it back... and it came out limp a second time. Granted, they use a very European style of bacon that is hard to get crispy... it's a lot more like ham than American bacon, but since they used the term 'crispy bacon' several places in the menu, I expected 'em to get it right the second time, at the least. Again, the dish was overpriced for not having a side item included.
You can tell that they are putting a lot of energy into high-quality ingredients. We also appreciated the euro-style water service, using old Champagne bottles and a chilled filler-tap.
It was OK, but we probably won't be back.
