| - I was really looking forward to eating here - close walking distance to everything in Old Town Scottsdale and Scottsdale Fashion Square, and always a big crowd - but was a bit disappointed. With better eggs and service, this place would easily get at least four stars.
Wait: We actually scored a table really quickly, but if we had arrived five minutes later we probably would've had to wait 30 minutes.
Food: My wife got the Quick Start (2 eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit) and I got BC's B&G (jalapeno biscuits and sausage gravy with fontina, 2 eggs, and fruit. At a breakfast place, making eggs is a huge element and The Breakfast Club failed us here. Her eggs were undercooked (runny whites) and my eggs were overcooked (almost totally solid yolks when I ordered over-easy). That aside, everything else was very good. Covering jalapeno biscuits with eggs, fontina, and gravy was a very interesting combo and (aside from the egg fiasco) tasted very good - rich without being overwhelming. I'd probably opt to have the eggs on the side or just forego them completely since they weren't really necessary. What really impressed me was how fresh and sweet the fruit was - especially for March.
Service: While the hostess was nice, the service itself was far from good. Our waitress seemed new, like a deer in headlights, and the place definitely seemed understaffed. She came by very infrequently, and actually disappeared when we were ready for a check (maybe she went on a break?). Fortunately - after waiting for some time - another waitress helped us and brought our check by.
