| - I'm conflicted. I've been here before and enjoyed it, but took a friend there this morning and was pretty disappointed. Gave the friend the big build-up so was a bit embarrassed by the poor showing.
We ordered 2 Plain and Simples and they showed up pretty quickly. So far so good. However, the food was not hot, the bacon was undercooked and the potatoes were way overcooked. Not sure how the potatoes were overcooked, and still served at room temperature - but that's how it was. To cap off my experience, I found a long hair on my plate. I'm not squeamish, but I gotta say, "yuk."
Restaurant 101: Someone needs to scrutinize every plate before it leaves the kitchen. Is the food hot? Is there a big friggin' hair in it?
We were the first customers on a Sunday morning, the cooks were probably hung-over college kids.
Oh, and while I'm at it - the coffee was weak and nearly devoid of flavor.
I'll be downtown in a few weeks, so will try it again and revisit / revise this review in the interest of fairness.
UPDATE: Went back a few weeks later, and it seemed to be back to it's usual quality. Would probably go again.
