After hearing many a story about Red's consistency issues, which to be fair every restaurant has, I decided to try it today.
There's still some things that need work.
The coffee was hot and strong, the water was cold and constant.
My huevos egg wrap was *spicy* (which is how I like it) and obviously used fresh black beans and jalapenos. The eggs were scrambled and fluffy and the wrap was soft and full of whole wheat goodness. The sourdough toast was perfectly browned with just a smidgen of butter. Not to mention the choice of two different hot sauces.
The hash-browns ... well, the hash-browns were as flaccid as your grandpa in his pre-viagra days. They were white, soft and brushed with paprika. Now, I usually expect hash-browns to be crunchy and browned, these were not up to par.
My companion liked her pancakes with compote although the server cautioned against getting *both* compote and maple syrup due to the cost.
I'll give Red's another shot for sure. The menu has lots of options (including vegan ones which are sadly rare along 17th/4th these days) and next time, I'll just ask for well-done hash-browns.
