| - I always love to try new places for breakfast so I met my girlfriend at the recently opened "The Egg I Am". Not quite sure why they didn't stick to the franchise name of "The Egg and I" as it is listed on line under that site.
I had no expectations whatsoever. I'm tired of going to new places with high expectations and then being so disappointed. I walked into a very lovely brightly lit dining area with ample, but not crowded, seating. They have lots of booths (always my first choice for seating). Unfortunately, the place smelled a little "eggy" but they wore off shortly after I was seated (within a couple of minutes).
Our waiter was very friendly . . . he had a big smile and a fantastic attitude. He explained the various types of coffee they serve . . . including a Rainforest Blend (Rainforest Alliance Certified) which was deep, bold and delicious. I had the Athena Scramble which was yummy. I hate when eggs are overcooked and these were just perfect! The asparagus, Portobello mushrooms and feta cheese were plentiful -- no skimping here. The ranch potatoes were okay, not bad, not great. I picked out the crispy ones which were the best of the lot and wished I had asked them to burn them . . . then they would have been just right. My friend had the raisin french toast which she enjoyed, but then wished she had ordered the pancakes. I have to say, the raisin french toast smelled so good with its dollop of cinnamon butter. I can still smell it now.
Both the breakfast and lunch menus have many choices, both decadent and healthy, and the prices are extremely reasonable. I have a feeling I'll be going back often.
