| - Taylor's is resplendent in location (foot of camelback mtn), in it's commitment to local, organic (as much as possible), and it's caramelized onions. Oh, and they offer a side of sauteed mushrooms or spinach. I usually get both. They make everything better, even hurt feelings.
There is this ONE server that I get all the time, who I am shocked still works there. She's one of those people that you don't want to get mad at because she genuinely seems sort of naive - but she just sucks. And that removes my fifth star.
There is ANOTHER server who I used to get very frequently, who was super kick-ass. He actually offered me my coffee to-go at the end of my meal, which I am certain isn't really encouraged by the manager that does the ordering and cost spreadsheets of procuring to-go containers. But it's that kind of extra attention I desire, and frankly, deserve. Ok, that might be a bit much, the deserving part.
The food is just really good. Very fresh and delicious. Wilted greens omelet, or the caramelized onion and bleu cheese frittata (errr, it might be an omelet, frittita, frittata, what have you) sun-dried tomato bialy. That is my complete sentence. Don't let my grammatical errors fool you, I have taste-buds to make up for my bad English.
Lunch is tasty, but eh, wouldn't be my first choice. Breakfast is where it's at.
Coffee is delicious. They make a nice latte if you have about $5- to throw away on liquid that doesn't get you drunk or offer enlightenment.
I take away a star for my "um, yeah, that was pretty ok" lunch experiences, that one sucky server, and the fact that they don't serve potatoes with breakfast.
But the four stars should soundly represent the awesome server, those aforementioned breakfast menu items, (truthfully I haven't met a breakfast there that I didn't like), the offered-to-go coffees, the quality ingredients, the option of getting liquor at breakfast, and the outside seating, though it backs up to the parking lot, your backdrop is ultimately Camelback Mtn.
I find it appropriate to point out that, while you will generally not leave paying less than $12- / person, they do use local / organic ingredients. This costs more. Good quality food is pricey. That's just how it goes. I'm happy to pay a little extra and not leave feeling like a porky porkster. Porky McPorkersons with the top button undone. Lil Rolly Sausage gal. I don't like to feel like that after breakfast. And Taylor's does me right. If I can justify eating a lot, and not feeling awful, I'm game.
