| - After reading some reviews and seeing all the "best of" awards for their Cary Raleigh and Wake Forest locations, I was excited to check it out. (I also saw it looked pretty busy while dining at Zeitouni the other day.)
Unfortunately, the food didn't match the hype.
I got one of their "famous" benedicts, one with blue crab and asparagus. It came out with crab and shrimp. Ok, I'll let it slide, the server told us she was new. The problem was the egg and the hollandaise. The egg was poached too long and the yolk not runny. The sauce was too thick and congealed with a dried-out film over the top.
This dish came with fruit, and as indicated by Julia M. the fruit consisted of super skinny slice of orange, pineapple, and the kicker...mine had rotten grapes! Three were indented and brown and shriveled. How could this have left the kitchen?
The home fries were flavorful, which is great...but mushy. They could have been mashed potatoes, in disguise. Wish there was a crisp on the outside.
My husband's pumpkin pancake on special was pretty good...but we've had better. His eggs and bacon and english muffin were fine, and what you'd expect from a casual dining restaurant.
Bottom line, I feel like I wasted my weekend morning calories here..though gave them 3 stars for being friendly and prompt, and benefit of the doubt they're just going through opening pains.
