| - Matthew & I arrived at Served after a somewhat rough morning. Being a 23 year old female, I just can't help my mood swings but somehow I can always be pacified with a nice breakfast & an absurd amount of coffee.
Make sure you have Google Maps up & running when you set out on your breakfast journey because this place is a little tucked away. Located behind a doctors office in a somewhat empty center, we wondered whether anyone would be home when we got there. Don't let its remote location turn you off though. Once inside, we were greated warmly and seated in a quaint spot by the window. The decor is simple, yet elegant and modern and the service was timely and efficient.
The menu itself was unique to say the least. My craving for breakfast food drew us in, but we quickly switched our focus to lunch when the menu revealed that all their items have an Asian twist to them.
I ordered Papusas and Matthew ordered the Corn Beef Hash. The food was beautifully prepared and the ingredients were fresh, but we came to grub on some good food and unfortunately the meal was better on the eyes then in the tummy.
As pretty as it looked, both meals were rather bland and lacked any sort of distinct flavor. The beef on my papusa was slightly overcooked & therefore a bit dry and its accompanying coleslaw lacked the spice & flavor that typically gives this dish its wow factor.
Matthew's hash was good but not great. The hash itself consisted of a rye bread concoction (or so it tasted) as the hash, and a minimal amount of beef. As a real CBH lover, he was hungry enough to eat it all, but not thrilled enough to come back.
I'd say this place is worth a visit depending on what you look for in a restaurant. If good service & presentation is high up on your list of requirements, check it out. If you're a food connoisseur with a perfect palate, a different breakfast joint might better suit your fancy.
