We used to go to the breakfast place years ago and decided to go there today for Mother's Day. Three of us set off and arrived to find a reasonable group standing and waiting. We were fifth on a list with one group of nine ahead of us. We waited out from for the call to breakfast and suffered through milling around with other waiting including the group of 9 which consisted of 4 children under the age of five who were yelling and screaming and running around the sidewalk in front of the restaurant.
We finally were office an outside table after waiting about 15 minutes and it took another 5-10 mins for the server to clear and clean off the table so we could sit down. Ordered coffee and reviewed the menu so that we could order when the coffee arrived given some tighter constraints. My wife ordered an apple pancake knowing it would take 20 mins but having plenty of time...we thought. As the time went by we could not hail a server (since we were outside) and I went to check on the now 30 min wait. Having been informed that it would be a while still my
Wife went to attend to other things and my son and I had our omelets. Unfortunately the Rosemary potatoes were cold and my sons pancakes came out late. We took the apple pancake to go only to find out when we got home that it had nuts all over it (not ordered that way) and went right into the trash.
As we neared the end of our meal outside we were surrounded by the cacophony of those waiting to eat as well as the pleasures of a young six year old throwing up several times off the sidewalk ten feet away (thanks to his mom and dad for the entertainment and crying of a child who was clearly sick but was still dragged here to brighten our day.
Overall the service was average, food was below average and ambiance, well you get the picture. Doubt I will give them another chance to ruin a breakfast.
