Maybe it was the fact that others raved about this place before I had a chance to try it, but my expectations might have been a bit high for this spot.
We arrived mid afternoon on a weekday. The table we sat at was a bit busted and we waited for a bit for someone to take our order. When she did come, I hadn't looked at the menu very carefully. Assuming it was just another breakfast place, I asked for fried eggs. The server was a bit rude, I thought, and said "We don't serve fried eggs. You can have them poached or scrambled." OK - it's your restaurant, but when you do something unusual like that, don't expect me to know your rules. I'm just a customer. She suggested that I order poached eggs and they could do them firmer... because that's more like a fried egg? Anyways, my poached eggs resembled two rubbery golf balls in a little glass dish with a dribble of water in the bottom. On the side was toast and the mixed greens salad I buy at No Frills. Not very nice.
My question is this, though... if they only make poached and scrambled eggs, and the eggs arrive in a bowl like that... are they cooking them in a microwave? Does anyone know?
