| - Popular breakfast/brunch spot in the area, and being unimpressed by the nearby Bob Evans and intrigued by the somewhat unique menu, I decided to give this place a shot. There was a 20-25 minute wait on Saturday at 11 AM, which is to be expected. Atmosphere and decor is what you'd expect. Typical hustle and bustle of a busy brunch spot. One thing I thought I was kind of cool was that they had art on display along the walls from local artists that you could purchase if you were so inclined. Service was great. Attentive and very friendly.
Onto the food though, I ordered *deep breath*:
- Biscuits and gravy - Delicious. Gravy was good with huge chunks of breakfast sausage. The two biscuits were nice and buttery but not as flaky and puffy as I had hoped and just a little bit dry. My favorite dish out of what I ordered.
- Seafood omelette - This was HUGE. I would guess their omelettes are at least 5 eggs. Inside was crabmeat and shrimp, outside was hollandaise sauce and few leaves of spinach. I could have (and have) made this omelette myself. The sauce was good, and there wasn't enough spinach. Disappointed overall.
- Banana pancakes - Thin and dry, with an almost overpowering banana extract flavor. Very disappointed.
- Dutch Baby - This is what I came here for. They give you a side of lemons, powdered sugar, and whipped butter. USE THE LEMONS. At first I tried a piece without the sides, and it really didn't taste like much of anything. I was expecting crepe/elephant ear, but all I got back was a very mild flavor with a squishy "soggy french toast" like consistency. I squeezed the lemons and lots of powdered sugar, then it started to taste good. Still not enough to warrant the hype IMO. I had to drizzle syrup over it to really enjoy it.
Yes this was all mine. $30 for breakfast. I finished everything except 3 of the 4 banana pancakes. Yes, I'm a pig. Our server commended me and even let the manager know. Friendly staff.
What others in my party ordered:
- Corned Beeef Hash omelette - HUGE. Not enough corned beef, and potato chunks were too big. I could have (and have) made this better at home.
- Pecan pancakes - Decent, nothing special. Not really pecan "infused". Just pancakes with pecans.
Miscellaneous... their orange juice was fresh squeezed and definitely tasted like it. Very good.
I would go back again to try a few other things on the menu, but I doubt I'll be a regular patron. First Watch is much closer to me and tastes better.
