I don't appreciate restaurants that don't take reservations. We called the The Kitchen Table about a week before our visit to reserve a table. They don't take reservations, but suggest calling ahead 30 minutes to put your name on a list. We did so for brunch on a Friday, and were told to call back. We called back 10 minutes later and did the same thing, only this time we were allowed to put our names on a list. When we arrived to the restaurant about 20 minutes later, we went to the front counter and said we were here and that our name was on the list. The girl looked at us, said "okay," then walked away. At this point we have had 4 interactions with the staff (3 phone calls, 1 in-person) and one of the workers was helpful. I waited patiently until another staff member approached the counter. I introduced myself again because so far nobody has acknowledged or greeted us. This person said I need to wait until another person could help me out. Finally, the correct person arrived, she was friendly and she sat us a few minutes later. All that to get a table at the restaurant!
We sat outside, as the inside was very noisy and played horrible music (as noted in other reviews). Service was fast but cold, and the food was good and hot The menu is slightly confusing as they offer "eggs, buttered toast, house potatoes, bacon or sausage" and "2 eggs, toast, house potatoes, bacon or sausage." What's the difference? Apparently $2. Also, the menu offers very few substitutions or dietary restricted options, which is disappointing for the quality of the food they serve and crowd they are catering towards.
