| - I really, really wanted to love this place in a five star kind of way. We went in for breakfast for my birthday and right off, something seemed off. We were the third table in the restaurant, and the other two seemed annoyed and didn't have food.
We kept a positive spirit, and after a few minutes the server showed up with menus, and we ordered. Nothing complicated; omelette with spinach and feta, rye, home fries, then two eggs over medium, bacon, home fries, rye toast.
No big deal right? Wrong.
Omelette came out with extras, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, and bacon. I liked it actually, but my wife wife wasn't so happy about the additions.
Eggs were beyond well done, to the point that you could make deviled eggs from the yolks. You know how an egg smells sulfurous when it get that overdone... yuck. The second try was a little better, but they were still overdone imho.
I don't like negative reviews, and this restaurant in our neighborhood, so I really want them to be successful. Please, management, get on the ball with breakfast. It's not that hard to do well, but so few seem to be able to pull it off.
Nice location and atmosphere, and I'll bet they have a good Bloody Mary, but we weren't asked if we wanted anything but water. Missed opportunity.
