| - I met three friends here to try out their mid-week breakfast (vs. weekend brunch). 3 of us had the breakfast special at 7.95, which included 2 eggs, "bacon" or sliced tomatoes, 2 latkes, a multigrain bagel and coffee. It is still excellent, but lost a star for the following reasons;
It "opens" at 10 am. (A tad late for breakfast.)
It opened at 10:10 am. (Inexcusable. Staff was inside, while we huddled outside.)
Chef doesn't do poached eggs. (Wha???)
No condiments were included with the latkes. Sour cream was $1 extra. (How can latkes be served without sour cream or apple sauce? Both are served when one orders them as a meal or side.)
Why did I only subtract 1 star for all the infractions listed above? I still love this place. The food is excellent, the server was friendly and (eventually) attentive, the coffee was above average, the vibe is great, the music was nice, it's an institution, they support local musicians, the Sunday brunch is fantastic...need I go on?
