| - ah, zada jane's. i have actually heard one of the servers say, "we are not really known for our service," before. i don't honestly think there service is bad, it is just the wait.
on a mild sunday last year, they didn't have the patio seating available. i had the novel idea to go ahead and get our food to go rather than wait the quoted 45-60 minutes for a table indoors. we sat outside and enjoyed our brunch in half that time. i felt like i came up with a rounder wheel that day.
this time around, my dining partner and i put our name in and walked casually down to nova's for a croissant to tide us over while we waited.
in the most surrealist of experiences, they called our name not two minutes after we walked back through the door. we were seated, served, ate, and had check paid all within a half hour. i am PRETTY sure we were at zada jane's but i am not sure with it being such a whirlwind of convenience.
the food is actually worth the wait on slower days. the grateful growers meats, the meat alternatives, the locally grown foods all just taste a little more pure. the sausage has a good spice to it. the turkey bacon is really quite savory. the happy eggs are always satisfactory. the french toast is to die for.
its just the wait. and honestly, if you think about it, they do a fantastic job orchestrating the ridiculousness that is a plaza midwood brunch scene. with the slews of families, hungover couples, straight from church groups, and friends just catching up, the place is always slammed. all those people must think it is worth the wait as well...
