| - *I am only speaking about their brunch menu*
Mildred's Temple Kitchen is your typical example of millennial hype and glamorized food popularized via Instagram filters and silly 'Boomerang' special effects.
I am, admittedly, a skeptic when it comes to new, trendy, stylized or social media popular 'must do's'. Mildred's Temple (brunch) is the epitome of Brunch Douchebaggery.
Long gone are the days of being known and recommended for reasons like great customer service, exceptional quality of ingredients and execution of the plate. Now, a few Facebook posts with pretty people and filters will suffice.
Service was typical at a restaurant that clearly thinks itself to be AMAZING. Our server was nice albeit rarely around. Our table of 5 got our coffees and teas quick however there was a half hour + before we seen our food. I believe the kitchen forgot or didn't receive our order which makes sense why our server didn't show their face.
Now before you read and think 'Half hour + isn't bad' , keep in mind other tables seated after us received their food before us thus proving our order was lost.
The food was... well, it tried.
Mixing ingredients to be edgy or trendy can work when done correctly. Unfortunately, Mildred's Temple missed the bus on this one.
The portion for price wasn't too bad although it was leaning more towards the pricey side.
Lastly, because I'm tired as I am writing this, nowadays for some reason you need a 'thing' to be known for and famous with. Apparently it's their pancakes. Yes, pancakes... the most basic thing anyone can make in any kitchen or home around the world.
They are thick, colourfully plated with fruit and sprinkled in icing sugar. Wooo Hooo!!
Visually they are captivating and immediately capture your attention. Eating them they are basic, dry and completely unappetizing.
