| - Whoa, Nellie's!
This quaint downtown café looked promising - the customer service is incredibly friendly and accommodating (not to mention possessing a wonderful sense of humour). Unfortunately, it spirals into a tailspin of disappointment when the food is delivered upon your anticipating stomach.
You know the drill (For breakfast, I always order the traditional eggs Benedict). Was it awesomely delicious? Nope. Was it horrendously bad? Kind of, yes. The English muffin was insultingly soggy and the ham was mediocre and salty. What about the Hollandaise sauce, you may ask? Well, it was certainly some type of sauce yet it definitely wasn't Hollandaise. It was a viscous translucent white liquid that was reminiscent of hair gel. It tasted absolutely awful. I would rather squeeze hair gel in my mouth and eat it. Honestly, it was the worst "Hollandaise" sauce I have ever had the displeasure of tasting - which is saying something, because Humpty's has a similar Hollandaise sauce and I gave that a score of minus five. This? Easily a negative integer past ten. In addition, the 'fruit' you receive are two hair-thin slices of various melons and one strawberry. The hashbrowns were average, nothing special; no seasoning, no salt and a bit soggy. The only redeeming quality of the dish were the eggs, which were perfectly poached soft as per request. Overall, I was not impressed. I really need to learn how to voice my complaints and concerns to the restaurant staff in person.
I may return for desserts, but the breakfast has left a queasy sensation in the recesses of my subconscious.
