Despite the fact this place is a 5 minute walk from our home I've probably only been inside once or twice. It just never looked very clean to me. Recently, my partner and I went for brunch on a Sunday. I will admit the pancakes are delicious and that's exactly what I ordered. Unfortunately, the young man who brought our plates to the table carried a plate of eggs on top of my blueberry pancakes - YUCK. When I asked him to please take back my pancakes and explained why he assured me the bottom of plate had not touched my food, however, he was unable to explain how blueberry sauce managed to get all over the bottom of the plate of eggs. He took the dish back to the kitchen and I watched as he told the "cook" what happened. The cook appeared to laugh and share the story with several others behind the counter (apparently oblivious to the fact that the "kitchen" is open and in plain view of the diners.) The cook then put a glove on and used his hand to scrape off the blueberries and put new new blueberries on the same pancakes. The server brought my "new" pancakes back and I promptly sent them back. In all fairness, our original server did not know anything about this and she apologized and offered to bring me another meal. Needless to say, we both had lost our appetites. I knew there was a reason I didn't eat here...
