| - If you're a tourist and you're looking for a typical American breakfast/brunch experience, that's definitely the place. Nearly every item on the menu is too heavy, too big or too sugary to manage to eat it all.
But first things first, the line for the tables is EXTREMELY long. I mean like 40 minutes at least. However, you can easily keep yourself amused the whole time by reading letters from famous people who ate there and loved it very much. There's also photos and articles from magazines. After you are called, the waiter leads you into a big room full of people and gives you big printed menu. The place was extremely busy the whole time, but the staff was great and we didn't have to wait too long to order or get food.
As I said before, the choice is overwhelming. Really! There's so many options that I could sit there for an hour and I still wouldn't be completely sure what to order. So I started with watermelon kivi lemonade. It was amazing! Very sweet, big and colorful and yet refreshing. I drank two of them. And a sweet coffee. So when we left I was on sugar rush :D. For breakfast we both decided on Farm Benedict. Mine was a bit on the lighter side, with smoked bacon, fresh tomato, fresh spinach, potatoes and roasted red pepper cream but my fiance went crazy and chose the version with crispy hand hammered pork tenderloin, market yellow tomato, spinach, potatoes and barb' que cream. Pork tenderloin. For breakfast. He's mad. The other reviews certainly don't lie, the portions are ENORMOUS. I honestly cannot imagine a person that would eat it whole. We could share one and we probably would still left some of it. The dish itself is a big mix of everything you could possibly want for breakfast all in one, layer after layer and topped wit crazy amount of sauce. It's a strange mix of flavors. I loved it but it was so heavy I can't imagine eating something like that more often than twice a month.
The prices weren't very high and we had a great time there, laughing, looking disbelievingly at our dishes, taking pictures. The place is always full of tourists so nobody cares. Definitely a must visit!
