| - I love breakfast, I love Boom for breakfast, but I really don't go here often anymore for a couple reasons.
I'm going to have to agree with Alejandro when he says that there is CONSTANTLY a line-up. Especially on weekends. I stopped trying to go for weekend brunch here because when I wake up on Sunday morning, I'm hungry and I don't want to have to wait for an hour to get a seat. They try to be nice about you waiting in line, they'll give you menus so you can start deciding what you want, and they'll offer you snacks and drinks, but I just feel bad waiting in the already-cramped restaurant when all the servers are trying to serve people who are on both sides of you.
THEN, when you get seated, you have to deal with slow service, too. I'm not sure if they're under-staffed, or just too swamped, but I find slow service bothers me even more than waiting, so generally when I leave Boom, I'm not too happy, even if the food was delicious.
I'd say try this place once -- they have a really good breakfast menu, with healthy options (I remember the Spa-melette, with egg whites that you don't have to pay a fortune to substitute) and lots of delicious Eggs Benedict options for Eggs Benedict lovers like myself. But if you're impatient like me, choose a day when you've got time to spare and when there is less of a chance of a line-up -- weekdays.
