I really enjoyed eating here. We had a lovely table on the lovely patio on a lovely Sunday morning. And our servers were friendly and attentive.
Unfortunately, I was universally disappointed by the food. It was all significantly less satisfying than I had expected it to be. To the point that I kept wondering if the problem was me. But I don't think it was. The food just missed the mark--almost as if it were trying too hard. In fact, 'way' and 'too' were the operative adjectives. Too rich (the signature biscuits). Way too sweet (the french toast sticks). Way way too fried (the home fries). Way way way too dense and dry (the banana pudding).
The pudding was particularly disappointing. I was looking forward to rich, smooth, creamy pudding, layered with whipped cream and wafers. I was served a poorly executed trifle. The home fries were similarly disappointing. They were unnecessarily deep-fried, to the point of being hard and crunchy.
I left Made LV feeling as if I had eaten an incredibly unhealthy meal, but not in the good way. Good, delicious, unhealthy food satisfies cravings that healthy food never can. This meal just made me wonder why I had eaten so much saturated fat without ever having to ask myself why unhealthy food tastes so good?
