| - My husband and I decided to check out this quaintly named restaurant for breakfast this morning. The decor is quite cute, plenty of seating, even a couple of nice leather chairs should you drop by with a friend for a simple coffee. The windows advertise catering services are offered as well. However, I noticed right away that the entry floor was in need of a serious sweeping.
As we perused the menu, I seriously considered making the awkward decision to do an about-face and go to Mimi's, perhaps allowing the ladies working the Cluck-n-Cup time to find a broom, a few spray bottles, and some clean dishrags; but my husband placed his order for an omelette. He was told it would be about fifteen minutes... for an omelette? I ordered a breakfast croissant sandwich and we both asked for coffee and water. We were given two styrofoam cups of coffee at the register and two of water. Seriously? Ceramic mugs and at least plastic glasses should be the norm in any restaurant. When asked if we'd like cream, our cashier/waitress told us to hold on a minute. She went to the back and returned with our creamer, in the quart carton you'd pull out of the case at your local grocery store, and let us pour it ourselves before we walked over to the sugar station.
We walked by plenty of booths where both table and seating needed to be wiped down, as well as more evidence of the neglect of floors. As for our breakfast, my husband liked his omelette quite well. My sandwich was nothing special. My husband asked me to sit facing the window so that the TWO people "working" the morning shift in this restaurant devoid of any customers besides ourselves would not see my face. I don't think the one standing at the front counter would have looked up from her computer screen long enough to notice anything amiss.
We both stopped by the bathroom before leaving. Dirty everything, and trash hanging out of the trashcan. Unbelievable.
