| - Went for Sunday brunch, I must point out that this was my breakfast companions choice, as I preferred the tried and true border grille.
In any case, have heard good things about this place so was open to try.
It was a nice, well lit dining area, and we were seated promptly.
the layout looked ok, so we opted for their breakfast "buffet" at 40/each
I have to say that the menu items sounded like a great way to start the day, but I think that is where it ended....unfortunately.
we placed a "kitchen" order for the huervos rancheros, white trash fried chicken, and their signature frosted flake French toast....
in the meantime, we went to the counter to start with a grilled ham/cheese Panini and a bleu cheese/fig baguette......YUCK, would have been happier with a cold bologna sandwich. The baguette was just so-so, but the Panini on pretzel bread....horrible
strike 1.....
got a couple items from the sweet section, including what appeared to be a pistachio macaroon, some caramel corn in a Chinese take out box, and the waiter brought us some pink cotton candy. The candy corn was at least edible, but the green macaroon was actually mint flavor???? what an awful mouthful that was. The cotton candy looked nice, but was not good in the least, so we left it as table décor....
strike 2....
kitchen items arrived, we were looking forward to having something to eat....
the item of the day, the huervos rancheros was pretty bland, almost as if the cook had used no seasoning at all....basically very mild salsa on top of a crispy corn tortilla with an overdone egg on top....bit of black beans and pork sprinkled on plate too....should have passed on this.....
have to at least say the chicken was edible, and had some flavor. presented with an egg on top which was nice, and some spicy sauce on bottom
the French toast came out on the cold side, so maybe that would explain the bland texture and taste? was a bit overdone too....I prefer mine a lighter shade of brown and not the color of my coffee.....
strike 3
......well that is 3 strikes, and we did decide to suffer a bit more and at least try a crepe....bad decision. we had the grilled vegetable and swiss cheese one, and watched as the cook took a crepe off a stack of premade ones and threw on induction pan to heat up, throwing the vegetables and cheese on top to warm.
AWFUL....for the price we paid, would it really have been out of line to expect them to make a crepe to order???? it's not the hardest thing to do now
strike 4????
so aside from the 1 edible kitchen dish (chicken) and the candy corn, we both did enjoy their coffee. the orange juice was good too, although it was so busy (HAHA) that we had to ask the waiter more than once for 1 simple glass
One other thing that bothered me more than my companion was the fact that the waiter seemed to not really give a sh*t at all. My friend is a server at another venue and says it wasn't his fault the food was so bad which I do understand. but when he picks up every plate and it is very apparent we did not eat anything at all, an apology or something would have been nice...to show he at least cared?
well I guess you can only take negative comments so long before you become numb to the job.....
I hope they take these comments to heart and try to implement some changes. It is pretty hard to justify those prices for a simple brunch menu with low quality. The setting and atmosphere made me want to like this place, but the food and service makes a return visit so NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!
