| - i felt very blah about my food. i feel bad because i wasn't in the best of mood for brunch food, but am trying to rate without that in mind.
now, mind my snobiness, but we have some damn good brunch in chicago, and unfortunately this place just couldn't live up to my windy city standards. the pancakes were good but a bit flat for my taste - as in, not poofy. i know this is the new pancake fashion, flat cakes with compote of some sort, but it wasn't wow-ing. the potatoes were okay, extremely greasy and IMO not seasoned well, instead depending on its spicy greasy sauce instead. whatever. anyway, the boyfriend seemed to enjoy my pancakes much more than i did, but wasn't thrilled with his special scrambler. unfortunately it was made with lots of green onion and the potatoes have them, as well, so it was a little too much green onion overall. the jam sitting out on the table was delicious and coffee was good, too.
overall good, but not wowing.
