| - The space is rustic, modern, and chic. It was also open and inviting. Great bustling spot for brunch. I made a reservation via OpenTable and after a few minutes of watching the hostess fumble around, she said she located our reservation and we were taken to our table. (Side note: later that day, I received an e-mail from OpenTable informing me that I was a "no show")
Our experience started out nice enough with prompt service, however, while we were eating, we could not find our server. Our waters and coffees were empty and we were desperate for refills. When we finally spotted her, we could not get her attention. She tended a couple other tables, then stood at the server station while flirting with another server. It was infuriating. Especially with other wait staff walking around the restaurant and no assistance. Do colleagues not help each other? We finally got her to refill our beverages. My mom also requested additional sugar packets for her coffee, however, our server just went about her business, so we finally had to flag down another server and he kindly brought us more. A couple minutes later, she drops off a whole container without a word.
Thank goodness the food was tasty!
Cheddar Herb Scone ($5): The scone is a daily selection and I'm very pleased with the one we had. It was delicious! Great texture and flavors. I'm a huge fan of savory scones and this is definitely one of the best ones I've had. I was tempted to order another one if it wasn't for the price tag.
Cinnamon Roll with caramel sauce ($6): This is HUGE! And importantly, delicious. I really liked the caramel sauce that was fortunately not too sweet. We couldn't even finish half of it, so we took it home and it made a nice snack.
Crispy Fingerling Potatoes ($11): Tossed with rosemary, sage, and Parmesan; served with lemon aïoli. The potatoes were delightfully crispy with tender interiors. I loved the flavors of the fresh, fragrant herbs and salty, nuttiness from the Parmesan. The aïoli was also a great compliment. My mom and I love potatoes and we were really digging this dish!
Farmer's Market Frittata ($10): A thin "pancake" of eggs is topped with market fresh vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, mushroom, baby spinach), sun-dried tomato, pickled red onion, and cheddar. I was really disappointed with this dish. Pan-fried eggs with vegetables tossed on top is NOT a frittata. Even if I ignored the name, it was flavorless and boring! The vegetables were barely heated through. Silver lining: It's a great low-carb option. Just pretend it's called Vegetable Medley & Eggs.
Chorizo Scramble ($10): Eggs with chorizo, spinach, salsa, and jack cheese. Served with a slice of Brick Oven Baguette. This was tasty. Solid brunch choice for those that like it a little spicy. Ruben really enjoyed it.
Chicken Chopped Salad ($14): Mixed greens, avocado, dates, almonds, and medium-boiled egg. My mom and I both loved this salad! The dressing was light and flavorful, but not overpowering. Everything was fresh and I loved the crunch from the almonds. A very generous serving of chicken as well.
We also took home two Brick Oven Baguettes ($3/each) - bonus: they're Vegan! They seem to have a sourdough aspect? They have a great crust like that on my favorite pizzas.
The food was (mostly) really great, however, our experience left much to be desired. It's truly a shame. I'm not sure any of us would be excited to return.
FYI: Complimentary valet only. Really odd considering the lot is very small and when we retrieved our car, he handed us the key since it was so close to the restaurant and exit. So very odd. Anyway, I felt so bad for the valet because it was SO hot outside!
