I am writing a update because I stated previously in my earlier review of Fazios I would give it one more chance...I'm just that kinda gal. Well came in with a couple girlfriends after our workout to grab a relaxing brunch. Hoping and HOPING that since they have a new chef the food (along with listening to the review I wrote-I mean constructive criticism is the best form for change right?!) would be so much better. By the looks of the new menu, I was optimistic. It looked as if they took time to revamp the layout of the menu and have it "feel" as if you were eating somewhere where the chef is going to deliver great food...like food that was described as read. So I ordered my egg white veggie omelet and had specified cooking with no butter or oil -last time I ordered this, my healthy egg whites were swimming in oil. Here is a clue. When someone specifies egg whites it is 90% of the time that person eating clean or healthy-it should not come out swimming in oil..we specifically took the fat part out of the egg for a reason. I also had them keep the hash browns so I can compare and again ordered wheat toast to see if it was still out of the bag bread like last time. There is a pastry chef here correct? My girlfriends both ordered the crusted French toast. Coffee was an improvement, it was good and our waitress-same as last time kept refilling which was nice. Lots of girl talk and food came. My omelet was prepared dry which is what I wanted but was so tiny! I mean egg whites kinda have to be tripled, I honestly think they used two egg whites...so 40 calories. I guess that's good if you want to start your morning off after an hour of ass kicking workout with 40 calorie tiny egg whites....oh well I got the protein I needed. The hash browns like last time looked so unappetizing. Grayish brown. Soft and kinda looked soggy. I tasted a bite. No thanks. No flavor, no crunch nothing! On to my toast. Oh sweet eeehhhhh sandpaper toasted BAGGED toast! I can not stand bagged bread at a restaurant, I'm sorry am I not the only one? I again could have made this breakfast 10000 x's better in my kitchen. So disappointed. My friends French toast (bagged toast) was so heavily crusted in cornflakes and thin...because bagged bread was used for French toast that is was eating sandpaper and greasy greasy sandpaper. Why not use French baguette or a specialty bread!? I am so confused and they were not impressed. One more thing, when you say breakfast comes with a fruit salad I expect a fruit salad not two orange slices on my already bland colored plate. Needless to say I picked up the tab because I love my girlfriends and I suggested this place...I wanted to take the financial hit not them.
I can sadly say this restaurant seems as if they will cater to the 50 something lounge crowd that likes the hair band music, beer, and mediocre( at best ) food. I do not fit that crowd. I know my food. I know great food. I am part of the revolution of 30 something's who will expect restaurants to deliver taste, presentation and blow us all away. I get that and expect just that when I go out...now I know for sure I'm just not going to get it here.
