| - As the "Duchess" of One5Lakeside I am sad to say that this restaurant has changed in a bad way. The first thing I noticed is that the person that sat us was not friendly or outgoing. I'm pretty confident this is the new manager. I called the restaurant a few weeks ago right before they were having a grand opening and I spoke with him. This sounded like the same person. Had I never eaten here before I would have just walked out because he does not have an inviting demeanor.
The menu has changed. I was entirely unaware of this before we visited today. We were here at brunch time but there was only one eggs option. It was a Denver scramble or omelet. I didn't care. I didn't want it. The food quality is not as good and the portions were considerably smaller. I ordered plain fries (that I've ordered every visit before) and they were double coated like they sell at Burger King. I am not a fan of this style of potatoes. I got about 15 total pieces. The fries I had a month ago were not the puffy, coated variety. They were delicious. I was a huge fan of the fries.
On this trip I brought 2 other people and my husband, my normal eating companion. The only thing we are used to ordering that was still on the menu was the calamari. This was more onions than seafood. There was a strange sauce that I didn't even bother to try. It looked like a mix of thousand island and ketchup.
I didn't take pictures of anything. I was underwhelmed. I'm currently eating Fritos as I am not at all satisfied.
Update to my update- - - -
Hubby and I are here again during the Mardi Grad festival. I forgot to write about our experience at AYCE dinner a few Thursdays ago. The $15 cost is a steal. We had some truly delicious pasta, cooked al dente. This was the highlight of my meal. I love pasta. It actually filled me up. I tasted the ribs. They were tender and delicious. Great rub. I wish I had more room in my tummy to eat more of them. Laura was my server. Super sweet and friendly. I believe she's also the manager. The all you can eat menu changes so don't get mad at me if they don't have ribs. Call first. I did! Laura told me what was in the menu for the night and it sounded good so I came do
Update-----
My second trip for brunch was even better than the first. John remembered us and put us at our original table. That was so cute. He is a great conversationalist and great with customer service.
Our meal was excellent. I tried the Chinese Chicken salad even though I really wanted eggs. This salad was massive and filled with fun. Haha! They included fresh ginger and seaweed. I like
The flavor or seaweed and actually have a huge pack of seaweed snacks that I munch on at home. If you don't like seaweed or fishy then just ask them to not add this. Otherwise, I don't think anyone could not enjoy this meal. They're was also an ample amount of well seasoned chicken and walnuts. Nice addition for texture and flavor
I really enjoyed by brunch here this past weekend. The bottomless mimosas were a happy bonus. Me and mimosas are besties!
I ordered the basic American breakfast with 2 eggs, sausage, potatoes and a side of fruit. The eggs were perfectly scrambled to my liking which is not wet. I hate when they barely seem cooked and they are slimy. Not at all, and they had added seasoning. Not tons, but some. My sausage was also cooked the right way. I get leery eating gray sausage that seems pink inside. That is a sure way to get sick. The breakfast potatoes were crispy brown and salty (not too much). And I was given toast though it wasn't listed in the description. That was a happy surprise. I can't comment on the freshness of the fruit because it was Honeydew melon and I truly hate the taste of that particular fruit. Not their fault. It looked fresh though.
John, our server, was attentive and made the perfect mimosa. He knows his ratios. He would bring a new glass by as soon as I took the last sip. John is on my list of potential future besties just because of this.
I also ordered coffee because I had my toast to munch on. I was particularly hungry when we got there because I hadn't had breakfast so I kept going. The coffee was fab! I asked John what it was and believe it or not, it was good old fashioned Folgers coffee from way back when. He said he always uses two scoops to brew it. If my Nespresso at home gives out I'm getting two scoops of Folgers and moving on with my life.
