| - First time here. Friendly staff and cool, retro decor (think Jetsons) and an interesting menu with some unique takes on breakfast and lunch standards.
Our Initial overall reaction was very positive, but almost immediately after sitting down it became apparent the restaurant is EXTREMELY NOISY (yes I'm yelling with ALL CAPS because in Snooze it's the only way to be heard). Why do restaurant designers decide to go all hard surface. We had to raise our voices, as did our server, just to ask questions and place our order. Really uncomfortable and virtually impossible to carry on a normal, relaxed conversation. FYI, it was mid-week late morning, so I'd hate to hear what it's like when really busy.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps where we sat was the focal point and other locations in the restaurant will be a bit quieter. If you're bothered by high sound levels, be sure to come when Snooze isn't busy and/or ask for the quietest spot in the restaurant.
On the positive side, our server was excellent. Very friendly and helpful, taking her time explaining many of the dishes to us newbies and giving us some helpful suggestions.
The food was very tasty. I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and my wife had an Eggs Benny Duo of Chile Verde Benny and Chilaquiles Benedict.
Everything was hot and flavorful with a new twist on old standards,. While less food for the money and perhaps not as fulfilling as some of our other favorite places, we'll definitely come back whenever we want something unique and different for breakfast as there are some fantastic sounding items on their menu we want to try. We were also impressed enough that we'll try them for lunch.
The only thing keeping us from making this a frequent place will be the extreme noise level. Perhaps when the weather cools off we'll ask for the patio, but then we'd miss out on all the neat retro decor. Ahhh... life is just full of sacrifices.
