Continuing our snow-bird exploration of breakfast restaurants we couldn't pass up a place with so many reviews and so many good ones. We arrived a bit later than usual and the waiting crowd spoke to the popularity of the place. Being from a smaller Midwest city, having to wait at all is a bit of a put off, but okay, we aren't there, we are here. It may be a bit nit-picky, but a couple who came in after us talked to the hostess and then had handshakes and hugs with the manager. Then they were seated before us in a 4-seat booth by the window. A few minutes later we were escorted to the smallest table in the darkest corner of the restaurant. It wasn't the worst thing that could have happened but it sure set a negative tone for our Valentines Day breakfast.
The waitress was reasonably prompt for a full and busy restaurant, but the food took a while. I hold that restaurants know their popularity and should staff and deliver accordingly to accommodate their customers.
I had the Farmers Omelet and my wife had French Toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. The main entrees, the omelet and French toast were very good. The hash browns that came with the omelet were over cooked on the outside and virtually uncooked on the inside. My wife's scrambled eggs were under cooked inside.
Taken altogether it was a good enough breakfast, but not so great as to justify the wait and not worthy of what the large crowds represented. Since this place appears to be very popular I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that our experience was atypical. But if you are going there, get there early unless you consider waiting in line part of a normal restaurant experience.
