| - (Written April 2015, not sure why it didn't post.) My fiancée and I went here for a quick brunch before going golfing at the Monona Golf Course. The only two positive things I can say about it is that the food came out quickly and my fiancé's California sandwich with a side of greens was really good (although the vinaigrette for the greens was disgusting and sweet). I'm vegetarian, and I was very excited to get my breakfast sandwich (eggs and cheddar cheese) on a croissant with the side of bacon given to my fiancé, and a slice of 4 cheese quiche with a side of homemade Rosemary potatoes. Sounded delicious, albeit expensive, with the quiche alone costing about $8. Our $30 breakfast wound up being a flop. My croissant was clearly one of those frozen and thawed kind, but worse, the whole sandwich - croissant, egg, and cheese came out to me fresh from the microwave. Have you ever had microwaved croissant? It's soggy. And eggs from the microwave will burn the roof of your mouth. The whole thing was flavorless. The plate came with a side of cutely cut fruit (Orange slice and strawberry) where all of the fruit was either rotted or close to it. The real disappointment was with my quiche. Apparently the potatoes are pre-prepared with bacon, and can not be ordered vegetarian. That was a huge disappointment for me, and it was probably bad for the store, because they swapped it for greens with their sickly-sweet vinaigrette, and my theory is that the vinaigrette was what made and my fiancé sick after the meal. My quiche was also from the microwave, but since I ate it second, it had already cooled off and was pretty cold. The quiche crust was disgusting - the buttery, store bought frozen crusts. The quiche was pretty tasteless. It actually tasted OK once I poured so much pepper on top for flavor and picked off the gross, microwaved, soggy, buttery crust. In the end, my fiancé and I both left feeling sick. He recovered quickly, but 24 hours later, I still feel sick to my stomach after this meal.
