| - Tried brunch here today with the husband.
When we arrived we were asked to wait outside in the rain for a spot. I asked if they took names and phone numbers...they didn't. So be aware that you may have to wait on the patio for quite some time.
The wait was maybe 20 minutes...there was an awning so we didn't get wet.
My husband ordered coffee and when the coffee came, the rim of the cup was dirty...like it had been put upside down in a pile of dust. I told the waitress about it and she gave me this weird look but gave us a new cup of coffee. When she came back, she apologized to my husband for the dirty cup.
We ordered the daily soup, a chocolate croissant, the eggs benny and the croque madam.
The soup today was a potato and bacon soup. It was not cream based but it was definitely home made which was nice. It came with a crostini and a piece of bread and butter. The soup was good, not salty. The crostini was a little hard....definitely had to soak it into the soup.
We waited for 25 minutes between the soup and the entree. Quite long in our opinion and in fact, the couple who was sitting next to us who sat down 10 minutes after us and ordered after us, got their food at the same time as us.
I got the eggs benny with the poached salmon. The benny has a croissant as the base which I didn't really care for. I know they're known here for their croissants but once the hollandaise sauce got onto it, it soaked down and became this sopping mush. The croissant base doesn't hold up to a regular piece of bread or english muffin. Otherwise, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise was good and the poached salmon was pretty standard. The dish also came with a fresh salad and I have to say that the vinaigrette for the salad was delicious. The dish also came with the same piece of bread and butter that came with the soup. I felt like it was unnecessary to give the extra piece of bread and butter esp since there's already carbs present. Considering this is a bakery, I didn't find the bread to be particularly fresh or tasty.
My husband got the croque madam. He really didn't like this dish. It was 2 pieces of brioche alternating with ham and then a fried egg on top. He didn't enjoy the dish because he felt that there was too much bread and the bread itself wasn't particularly tasty. He certainly was not impressed by the dish and furthermore, he felt his side salad was overdressed and therefore, quite salty.
We didn't receive our chocolate croissant and we assumed that maybe the server was going to give it to us to go or something. So we asked for our bill and as it turns out, he didn't even hear our croissant order and it therefore wasn't on the bill. We didn't feel up to correcting him and getting the croissant anymore so we let it go. We spent about 40 dollars in total.
Overall, I liked my dish, but my husband didn't like his. We both appreciated how their soup was homemade. I thought their service could be a bit better, perhaps a bit speedier and truthfully I would have appreciated if the waitress didn't give me a weird look when I told her about the dust on the cup as if I was crazy. To be honest, I probably wouldn't come here again...maybe if I was in the area I would stop by to get a croissant but no more. My husband certainly won't be coming back.
