| - We used to go to Taylor Cafe all the time, but haven't been in a while. Man, what a difference- and not in a good way.
It is unseasonably cool in Phoenix and Vincent's isn't having their brunch experience, so we decided to go back to Taylor Cafe. There were several less than pleasant surprises. First off, they no longer have a liquor license and thus no Mimosas or Bloody Marys. That was a minor issue for us, but worth mentioning on a Saturday morning brunch. I ordered a cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs with cheese for my hungry toddler, and we looked at the menu.
It seemed to have gotten much larger and there were some new interesting items. I loved the eggs benedict before, and ordered it again. My husband ordered the crepes. We anticipated our meals.
My daughter's eggs came out almost within seconds. Shocked, I saw it wasn't just eggs, but hashbrowns and fruit. It was also NOT warm. That surprise was a $9 meal.
While waiting for our meal, I drank most of my coffee. The server asked if I'd like more coffee to heat up my cup. He took my cup, which I though was odd, and brought it back with warm, steaming coffee. Yay! Upon getting the bill, I learned there was no such things as refills and I was charged for a second cup.
Lastly, our food was delivered. My eggs benedict was not warm...again! What is with cool food? There wasn't enough hollandaise sauce, and honestly, it just wasn't that tasty. My husband thought his crepes were just ok- not bad, but not flavorful. Our last surprise: when the bill arrived and we spent $45 on at best a mediocre breakfast, we were less than pleased.
The only bright spot- our server was friendly and did his best.
We will not go back. This was just one disappointment after another.
