| - Seriously needs to have a meeting and figure out what they are-
Firstly, it's obviously hipster-millennial-man bun-no clue how to take a concept and execute properly type of establishment.
The name inspires (at least to me) a "homestyle", family experience with the ability of modern Vegas standard being injected into the cafe styling-
Of course hipsters have to ruin this. Hostess is dress nicely and once walking in the hostess station is simple but clean and modern but is next to a coffee bar with obviously high end tools-
Decor has ZERO resemblance of continuity- wooden, nice styling tables (modern "home style") but the rest is something you'd expect to see out of a much more "elegant" style evening restaurant. 2 seriously conflicting concepts.
So- hostess dressed like an upscale place, but the "manager" or whomever she was is dressed hipster plaid dress shirt and leggings............ waitress and coffee bar staff wearing a modern take on the homestyle apron- while the waiters wear a clean T-shirt-
Ok.
Now comes the menu- WOW- some things just shouldn't be put together. And again- ZERO CONTINUITY OF IDEA. You have "upscale" items but it's printed on blueish cardstock type paper and then stapled together in the upper corner-------------
Zero kid friendly items- ok, so it's not a kid friendly place, that's fine.
Ordered my daughter the short stack and side of fruit.
I ordered smoked salmon Benedict
Wife got smoked sausage hash
Kind of mixing homestyle flavors with upscale flavors yet again- but ok, we will go with it.
Side of fruit comes out within maybe 8-10 minutes- seriously- who in their right mind crams a bunch of fruit into a water glass and then slaps on a heaping serving of whipped cream on top that actually dripping down the side and with ZERO standards even if it were at a Denny's .......... asked for a plate just so I could get the cream off and get the fruit out. Cream was tasty, fruit was ok.
Pancakes come out about 5 minutes later- cool, no complaints except they were kind of oddly "wet" inside. Not raw- not undercooked- just squishy.
Waited 7 minutes between the pancakes and my wife's hash. Comes out in a little cast iron skillet sitting on top of a folded cloth napkin (not too stable or safe in my eyes) with some toast. All sitting on a flat black ceramic "wood-look" plank.
We wait--------------5 minutes later almost-
My Benedict comes out- remember, Benedict is a poached egg- what happens when you slice into a poached egg..........
My Benedict and potato are sitting all together on that same black ceramic wood-look FLAT plank.............I was nice and asked for a separate plate instead of just cutting in and letting the yolk spew all over and right off the plank onto the table.
Food quality was below average- all of it (minus the pancakes) was not very hot at all- even the skillet was easily handled bare handed-
The skillet was swimming in grease, and the toast even left grease marks on the cloth napkin. My wife was not impressed and I spit out the bite I took- any quality cook knows with a sausage that you slice and throw away the tied ends- well, guess what my bite had in it.....mmmmmmmmmm ties end yum (being facetious)
The Benedict was ok- barely warm- salmon was probably slightly over portioned and was piled higher on one side so the egg and avocado were almost falling off. Hollandaise was ok tasting but was too little for the amount of avocado and salmon portion. The potato's that were served with it I only took a single bite of- there was a greater ratio of grease than potato.
Basically, the establishment needs to figure out what they are going for concept wise, needs chefs that know what they are doing and definitely needs an expediter to organize an order coming out all at once instead of plate by plate with several minute gaps between each.
On top of ALL this mangled mess- my wife took my daughter to the bathroom and it looked like it hadn't been maintained since the opening. Unclean in general, no toilet seat covers and the top hinge of the door was apparently so tight or not aligned that my wife had a hard time opening the door.
Our waitress though was extremely pleasant and was the most enjoyable part of our visit.
