| - I have just come home from Lunch at Jawny Bakers. I have been there multiple times, thinking every time, that it could not have been as bad as I'm remembering it.
Today I had a burger and coffee. My boyfriend had an Olga's omelette ( sun dried tomatos, mushrooms, feta cheese and spinach). On paper the food sounds good enough to justify the price. The restaurant has curries, goat cheese, spices and other quality ingredients but quality ingredients is only half of what makes good food good.
My burger was made with quality ground beef but was not seasoned in anyway. Nobody bothered to put even a pinch of salt into the meat before overcooking the shit out of it. The "cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend" had no flavour whatsoever and the bun was dry.
My boyfriend ate a small portion of his omelette (I've never seen him not finish a meal). Despite it's checklist of delicious ingredients he called it "dry and tasteless." .
Both of us did like the fries. And were satisfied with the coffee which was like any diner coffee except at twice the cost.
Our bill was 36 dollars before tip by the time we were done. It was hard to dish out for such a mediocre experience.
Also be prepared to be served by several different servers per visit, and while my boyfriend, my Dad and I have all had a hard time putting our finger on it, all of us have agreed the waiters consistently give off an overwhelming feeling of insincerity. Probably part of their training to act a certain way towards customers.
Decor is fine, though the place's acoustics make it so that you can often hear everyone in the restaurant's voice over your own.
Anyway , don't go there. For half the price, go to a cheap diner with less fancy ingredients, made flavourful by a chef that understands how to fry an egg.
