| - Ugh, horrible choice for breakfast!
I really don't understand the occasional "great reviews" other than a fluke occurance, I guess?! Especially where some of those reviewers will say basically that the food was so-so, the service wasn't good and the place wasn't clean -- then they leave a 4-star rating??!!
So, ok, upon arriving for breakfast (Sunday morning), there was no wait -- not really a good sign, but always a bonus to be seated early. The Hostess who never cracked a smile was wearing a Chicago Bears football jersey. As we walked to the both, I made small talk by asking her if The Bears were playing today? She looked at me as if I asked her to solve a quantum physics equation and coldly answered, "Oh, uh.....I don't know. I just wear the shirt" - classic.
After the mistake of going there, I make another mistake by ordering the "veggie sandwich" (no, I'm not vegan, just wanted something healthy). What came out was a sandwich that looked (and tasted) like a 7th grade Home Eco. student put together! The onions were raw chunks that fell out as I was eating it, along with pieces of spinach.
My wife had the crepes (without bacon) and when they arrived at the table it looked like they were empty!! I jokingly told her they were flat enough to fit in an envelope and mail out to someone! I regret not taking and posting a picture. I told her to open them up and inside we saw there were 3 leaves of spinach along with about 1/2 teaspoon of shredded cheddar -- that's it!! No wonder they were so flat!!
Coffee (which by the was is IN THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT), was ok at best. Hint: when it's in the name it HAS to be really good, dammit!! The service was sporatic and they were not busy at the 10am hour we arrived.
Other lowlights include: the whole time we were there we could hear the chef/owner yelling at her employees, which wouldn't bother me if it got results, but with all that effort and the food coming out of the kitchen, it was all wasted effort. Also, the floors looked sticky and had straw wrappers here and there even though they had someone sweeping the floors the ENTIRE time we were there!!
The ONLY bright part of the meal was the clam chowder, but based on some other reviews, I'm guessing it came out of a can.
The last kick in the teeth was the bill that came to just over $30!! (Again, for just 2 people). Are you kidding?? Well, that's what I get for trying a new spot before reading reviews or checking in with friends. Afterwards, I called to "warn" a friend about that place and he chewed MY ear off telling me how they won't go back after their first visit.
Great, talking to him first would have saved me the time and money. Don't make the same mistake: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
