| - I was really excited to go here. But I was thoroughly disappointed and this is why:
I went for brunch there with my sister. Right off the bat, they couldn't accommodate my request to substitute the prosciutto (which came with the poached eggs) with something vegetarian (I suggested tomatoes). Apparently, they don't do substitutions. Fine. So the server suggested I order the Eggs in Purgatorio, which is vegetarian. It looked good, so I said sure. When they came, the eggs were so underdone that the whites were still clear. So the server brought me another one and the eggs were STILL undercooked. It was supposed to come with smoked fontina cheese on top....no cheese. So when the sever walked by, I asked if it was supposed to come with cheese (showing her that there was clearly none). She told me "There WAS cheese...on the top." I'm not an idiot. I know what cheese tastes/looks like. There was no cheese! The whole experience was such a bummer! They didn't do anything to remedy the situation, so we paid full price - 50 DOLLARS (!) - for the meal. I spoke to the manager after who tried to justify why the eggs were under cooked, which angered me even more! It's too bad because I just moved the the neighbourhood and was looking forward to having a sweet, trendy place nearby. Unfortunately, they won't be seeing me, or any of my family members, again.
