| - The problem with being across the street from one of the best breakfast places in the city is you have to be even better. This place isn't even close to Matt's. We love Matt's, but we had ordered carry out from there the day before, so we decided to give Squash Blossom a try. As a new parent, my expectations may be a bit inflated. We are not eating out as much, so when we do, I expect it to be phenomenal. Squash Blossom was nothing special. The patio is in the middle of the parking lot. A lot could be done with this space. Instead, there is a hanging dead plant. The furniture inside looks like it came from the local VFW. Just nothing special. They do have local artists' work hanging on the wall, which is always a nice touch. We sat down, and we were immediately greeted and given menus. It was 11:30, but we were still in breakfast mode. Unfortunately, the only items on the menu were lunch items, which was surprising for such a small restaurant. How can you not offer breakfast all day when competing with Matt's? I ordered iced tea, and it tasted like it had been brewed with a coffee maker, which made it bitter. The menu was the expected salads and sandwiches. I didn't see anything unusual or any specialty items on the menu. For lunch I ordered a reuben and regular fries, and my husband ordered a burger and sweet potato fries. What is with the sweet potato fry trend?I had to laugh as my husband called sweet potato fries, "the new black". The food arrived soon. Again, nothing special. The regular fries were blah. My reuben was good-the corn beef was moist and not fatty at all. My husband liked his food, but, again, nothing special. Service was pleasant. Squash Blossom was okay, but I cannot imagine returning for nothing special.
