From some recent reviews, I was really worried about trying this place... but I have searched near and far around town for the Monte Cristo. And I hear this is the best place for it. Having not had it before, I wanted to have a good first impression of the Monte Cristo, so I didn't wanna just go anywhere! This is just a breakfast place though, closin at 2pm, so I had to actually set a date to go when I didn't work.
Was looking forward to dining here for a while! Ending up going around 1pm sometime in late January. Got inside and it was quite a bit warm, there was 2 other tables there. I was worried it would be dirty and muggy inside but it was decent for a small and old restaurant. Don't expect anything fancy!
We just sat down anywhere. And we already knew what we wanted..! New England Benny and Monte Cristo. Food came out at a decent time.
The benny was better than expected and the bf loved it! He generally isn't a fan of crab cakes but likes bennys. And the potatoes that came with it was yummy! Very crisp and well browned.
The Monte Cristo, the moment I have been waiting for... was ... okay. I imagined it be a cross between french toast and a turkey sandwich. Which it was. But I guess I had my expectations too high. And it came with a small cup of fruits, which you can tell was canned fruits. The syup was very light, almost like it was watered down.
This is your average local breakfast place. Nothing fancy, but not dirty. The server was a sweet lady. Don't think I'll be back for a while...
