| - Extraordinarily ordinary.
At here on a Saturday late morning with wife and two kids. First, there was a wait for tables, which is fine and frankly expected on the weekend at a small cafe. But then they sat us and no waiter showed up. Once fixed, service was really marginal for the rest of the meal.
Food was just okay. Wife had the turkey burger, which was just very boring and not exceptionally tasty. I had the Tryst Omelet which was reasonably priced but very underwhelming in presentation and taste. The sweet potato tater tots sounded cool, looked cool, and tasted pretty great for the first five or six in your mouth. But there were a LOT of plates I saw taken away with nearly full portions of the tots.
Kids meals were just okay. The kids burger had a patty that tasted worse than any McDonalds or school lunch program burger I had in High School.
Setting is an upscale strip mall. Inside is pleasant. With outdoor tables and misters, this would be a terrific late Fall through Early Spring breakfast joint if you live in the area.
Food isn't terrible. As a whole, better than a Denny's. But really nothing exceptional at all. And the owners were nice and friendly, but they need to teach their servers better manners and to spend less time flirting with co-workers and more time focused on taking care of the customers.
I surely won't go out of my way to come back, but if I had an hour to kill for breakfast and was in the area, might give it another shot if nothing else looked better.
I mean, not every place can be a Matt's Big Breakfast or St. Francis or any of the other exceptional restaurants around town, but the food, service, and atmosphere earns this place a solid 2 stars.
