So far hubby and I have had crappy luck when it comes to brunches. I am afraid if this continues we are doomed to eating at waffle house (which we love) or making scrambled eggs at home.
Blu Basil is a fairly new joint in the Cotswold location. We've had sandwiches there once and they were decent. So I figured we should try their brunch out..since they located less then a mile from us and we were starving. its a casual place where you order at the counter, get a number and the waiters bring over the food (similar to Jasons deli) but the prices are definitely not casual. Yes, the brunch menu is extensive but the portions do not match the price. I got the crepes with fresh fruit and mascarpone cheese for $8. No sides were included with that...no toast, no coffee, nothing. So I ordered the side of hash browns. I am glad I did because the 3 crepes were flimsy with very little fruit. Hubby looked at it and said "yea its a good thing you got those hash browns". Hubby ordered the classic breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 sides (hash browns, bacon) and wheat toast. When our food arrived it was cold. Cold eggs (yuck)! We complained the waitress asked if we wanted a new order or just warmed up...we were so hungry that we just agreed to a warm up. When his food came back it was missing the bacon and fruit from the plate! So we had to get the waitress again. They don't have jelly, butter or ketchup at the table so every time we needed something we had keep getting the waitresses attention. In the end we came off looking like difficult customers because they didn't seem to do anything right the first time. The place wasn't packed and I can see why. We've been home for an hour or so and we are already starving. Avoid for brunch (or any other meal). Seriously you pay a lot for very little food and service.
