| - This is clearly a family-owned business, and I love supporting family-owned businesses, but... I was not that impressed. We saw Temptations Cafe on Yelp so decided to stop by for lunch. I had no idea that the restaurant was sports themed, and it honestly felt like a sports bar (minus the booze)! The walls were covered with sports memorabilia which I think is a little tacky, but what really irked me was the tv playing sports. The restaurant is way too small to have a large tv, and the volume was much too loud for a Sunday afternoon. There was only one other family eating when we were there, and they clearly weren't watching sports. Why is the tv on? Who is watching it? Please mute it, or put the volume on low.
I ordered a grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. The menu says "add tomatoes for 50 cents" so I asked for tomatoes on my sandwich. I also asked for a side of hashbrowns because who doesn't love all day breakfast? My boyfriend got a breakfast plate with eggs, bacon and pancakes. Sadly our waitress forgot my hashbrowns, and she also forgot to add the tomatoes to my sandwich! Not a huge deal, but annoying since she obviously didn't write down my requests.
The food was good and filled us up, but it was nothing spectacular. Definitely tasted like a home-cooked meal, and you can tell it was made with love. I will be back for breakfast at some point, but this won't be my go-to spot. I will sit outside next time to avoid the sports on tv. (I think the patio is dog friendly, so that's a plus!)
One last note - our waitress was eating lunch behind the counter. The restaurant wasn't busy so it's not like she had anything else to do, but I found this unprofessional.
5 stars for being family-owned, 4 stars for the food, 3 stars for service (friendly but forgetful), 0 stars for decoration, 0 stars for the giant tv playing sports loudly.
