The place is now called "the Kitchen" (I guess following the Living Room and Sushi Room theme of nearby joints?).
This had become my primary breakfast joint for quite a while but then it changed ownership and I've decided with my last visit it is officially "over."
Talked to the manager the first time we ate there under the new ownership. We were told the Belgian Waffle maker was broken and there was some issue with the previous owner and payment to the vendor (waitress may have shared a little too much on that ;) My son would be denied his favorite :(
Also told her the food portions had changed (as in less). Her feedback was that people weren't finishing their food and would actually like less. I asked the obvious question - why the same menu and same pricing? They just took over, things will improve...
So we let the place settle a bit and finally went back a few weeks back (couldn't handle another Mimi's trip). Yep, the waffle maker was not working (had been down for a few weeks). And the menu was the same menu, with some items blacked out with marker.
And the final straw - the food quality was actually not the same. Cold eggs only a dab of potatoes and our waitress was inattentive.
