| - I really try hard to not rate hipster places low, because I know I'm probably mocked for not understanding the vibe of the restaurant, or something. But damn if the service at hipster restaurants doesn't always suck.
We were seated for a late breakfast visit (I guess that would be called "brunch"). We sat for several minutes and watched those who were sat after us be greeted. Insomnia also places water pitchers on the tables before anyone is sat, but ours conspicuously did not have any such pitcher. So between that and not being greeted for several long minutes, it makes me wonder why we were sat there. Oh, and the host like, was finishing a conversation with someone when we walked in and was half trying to exit the conversation but half still wanting to keep talking, so we had to stand there for a bit until we were greeted.
The server finally greeted us, which was great because we were hungry. Unfortunately, my french toast was extremely eggy. And I know, it's supposed to be that way, but it was eggier than scrambled eggs (not really). The french toast dish is called "Heaven on Earth". If that was heaven, I can't even imagine what "Hell on Earth" might taste like. My girlfriend has a tendency to order dishes I wish I had gotten, and the same rang true here. She got the peameal bacon grilled cheese dish, and it was well balanced, with cheese not overflowing put the sides of the sandwich. I hate when places LOAD cheese into their grilled sandwiches.
If I hadn't gotten a bite of my girlfriend's meal, this would have been a 1. Maybe you'll have better luck.
