| - First time I visited, they told me 1.5 hour wait for a table for two on a Saturday at 1pm. I was hungry already and didn't have the patience for that, so we left.
Second time I visited, we were aware there would be a wait. 1 hour wait for a table for two on a Sat at 11am. We put our name down and wrote down our phone number and they said they would contact us via text when our table was ready.
Symons valley ranch is near by, as well as a Starbucks so we did that in the meanwhile. They texted me an hour later saying my table would be ready soon so we headed back. When we got back to the restaurant, they asked us if we wanted to be seated at a big table with other people. What is this, HK? We said no and they told us we had to wait longer for a table for two. Why couldn't they have asked me that via text? We had to stand around for another 10-15min before a table for the two of us was ready.
There is a good amount of variety on the menu. We ordered the bacon eggs benny with butternut squash soup on the side and the short rib hash, as well as two mini waffles on the side with two toppings - salted caramel and dark chocolate espresso. The place was obviously very busy, but our food took another good half an hour to come out.
I was pleasantly surprised with the eggs benny. My favourite part about the benny was the garlic hollandaise sauce. I really liked the garlic flavour in it, it made the dish so much more savoury. I had mixed feelings about it being served on the same waffles I ordered as sides. I think it just depends on personal preference. I forgot I had the soup until I checked my pics for this place, so the soup was good but nothing amazing.
The short rib hash was also good. The short rib was on the saltier side but with the hash, it was fine.
The mini waffles were good but not sure if worth the $2 price tag. The toppings were pretty good though, I think you don't need one topping per one waffle as the portion of the topping is more than enough for 2-3 waffles (waffles are tiny).
Overall the portions for the food seemed a little small for how much they were priced at.
Our hostess and our server was both very pleasant. But the way they were managing the tables seemed horrible. I saw some large groups of people who were clearly upset by the wait. The guy at the front managing the waitlist seemed a bit flustered. It made me feel like the place was very unorganized and chaotic.
LONG REVIEW SHORT, I like the food here but I don't think I would wait 1 hour to eat here. Long wait for a table, more wait times for food. I'll try visiting again on a weekday maybe but definitely not again on a weekend. I will also probably wait it out for the big opening rush to phase out a little.
