| - 3.5 stars: The place is homey, warm, and inviting like having breakfast in grandma's living room / dining room. It has sharp bursts of bright colors, photos of nice landmarks, and aromatic smells roaming throughout the restaurant. It reminds me slightly of a greasy diner, except a little more, dare I say, sophisticated?
The service moved a quickly as soon as you sat down, as inferred from the menu at the bottom ("please considerate of others waiting for tables- enjoy and see you next time!"). I completely understand, no one wants to wait for a table. The waitress is relatively attentive and patient as we got our orders all in.
We ordered Chocolate Chip Pancakes, West 14th Special (corned beef hash) and a Vegetarian Omelet. We also got sides of Biscuits / Sausage Gravy and fruit:
The chocolate chip pancakes nice and fluffy, never needing a dash of syrup; however, it could have used maybe 2-3 more chocolate chips to make sure you at least a chocolate chip in each bit of pancake.
I was slightly disappointed with their homemade corned beef hash (W. 14th Special). I am used to corned beef hash fresh from the flat top with a slight crunchiness to it from sitting on a flat-top grill with crispy bites of potato and hash in each forkful; however it wasn't crispy and it was a disproportionate ratio of meat and potato. It was almost like they had pre-prepared a giant batch of corned beef hash and left it in a warming container and just dumped it onto a plate with each order. The eggs were nicely done and rounded out the hash.
The vegetarian omelet was delicious with a heaping amount of vegetables and eggs; although, I would have preferred the omelet to come with cheddar, in lieu of plain American cheese. The omelet tastes better with a little pepper and the "watered-down Frank's Red Hot Sauce." I was slightly disappointed with the cajun potatoes, as well. The cajun potatoes didn't pack a Cajun punch or very much seasoning. It definitely needed a little more seasoning and maybe ketchup.
The biscuits and gravy were fairly decent, I could definitely taste more of the roux than the sausage in the sausage gravy. The biscuit was not quite as flaky as I had expected or as crusty, as I had before.
The fruit was sweet and juicy and very refreshing after heavy, greasy breakfast.
I do love the fact that it is BYOB and you can bring in anything you would like and you're not constrained to the drink menu.
The breakfast is a great deal, my friends also ordered an additional 2 entrees and we paid a total of $30.00 a person after everything!
