| - It truly did not live up to my eggspectations .. At all. Very disappointing experience.
Only reason I'm giving 2 stars is: 1 for the espresso crema and the second because our waiter Zack was so nice.
---The Details---
We went in for breakfast food around 130pm, it was busy so we waited 10 minutes for a table.. so eager and excited to eat as we've heard good things.. and I'm a HUGE eggs benny fan. I truly cannot get enough hollandaise in my life lol.
The hostess, however, neglected to tell us that they had run out of hollandaise sauce, which would have saved so much time for us... and a bad yelp review lol.
After about 10 minutes we get a table, we waited a bit for our waiter (which is fine, we saw it was busy.) And he did touch base with us to say he'd be right with us, which was very appreciated. I'm in the service industry and can appreciate an attentive waiter/waitress.
Anyways, we had more than enough time to lurk the large benny section and decide exactly what we wanted. We go to order our carefully thought out benny decisions and he says they're out of Hollandaise so they cannot accommodate our order.. I thought he was joking at first, you'd think the hostess would tell people that upon arrival given the benny section is about 20% of their entire menu AND because Benny's are such a popular breakfast item. I then said, "why not just make more?" Being so confused as hollandaise is generally made the day of.. we were then informed that the hollandaise is pre made and brought in from Montreal!? Which turned me off from even wanting to try the Benny's from here ever. Ew. What kind of popular breakfast place doesn't make fresh hollandaise sauce?!
Nonetheless, we were so hungry so we decided to order some drinks: Espresso crema and a Banana Java smoothie, then choose another item from the menu since there were so many options.
We received our drinks and had had our hearts set on another couple items. My bf goes to order the bagel sandwich and our waiter tells us they are out of bagels. My Gosh! Yet another popular breakfast item! We were too frustrated at that point to continue through this sort of disappointment so we decided to just order something quick: the bruschetta, just to curb our appetite a tad until we found another place to eat. Zack was very quick to get that to us and we really appreciated him for that and for being so genuinely attentive and kind.
---What we ordered---
The bruschetta:
Wasn't the best we've had, but we did eat the entire thing and the flavours were decent.
The espresso crema:
It was AMAZING, I can always appreciate a wonderful espresso.
The banana java smoothie:
Was very mediocre. Too watery for a smoothie and relatively bland flavours.
---------------------------------------------------
Needless to say, I'll never go to this place solely because the hollandaise isn't made fresh in the morning. It's brought in from Montreal and that's just too much of a turn off for me. Makes me wonder what else isn't fresh. Ugh. Stay away. Unless all you want is a great espresso, then definitely go haha.
