| - This was absolutely the worst meal I've had since I can remember. What an ill-conceived and poorly executed restaurant.
We were seated pretty quickly. It was busy. I looked around at the plates on the tables that people had in front of them and I couldn't believe it. Big mountains of food all of them, crowned with foot long branches of rosemary and handfuls of dried pasta. Blechhhhhh!
So we sat down and the server was very nice. It took almost an hour for us to get our food, however. "We don't use heat lamps or microwaves!" was her explanation for the wait. What does that mean? You don't cook your pancakes and eggs in the microwave? I should hope not. Judging by the wait, they were cooking with a magnifying glass and a sunbeam.
Anyways, I ordered a "Benedict". What came out was cold and awful and not anything close to a benedict. A pound of gluey, cold mashed potatoes (why?), 2 cold and unappetizing bricks of biscuits topped with cold, unseasoned scrambled eggs! I thought I got the wrong dish. Nope, said young waitron. That's our benedict! I don't care what you call it, if it's supposed to be eggs benedict it's got to at least have poached eggs or even fried, not scrambled.
The worst part of it (besides the prices) was the mashed potato monstrosity! Literally 2 pounds of cold, congealed potatoes that had already set up like a concrete foundation underneath all of the awful food.
I was angry leaving this restaurant I was so upset. Waited an hour for a $15 plate of something I didn't order. It tasted awful and made me sick to look at it it was so gross. The pancake was just as bad, like 2 feet wide on top of a huge plate. Disgusting. And almost 50 bucks for breakfast?
Wow the portions are huge! But the food sucks and it's super expensive. You're really paying for two meals and who wants to bring eggs and pancake leftovers home?
We barely touched the food once it finally arrived and were obviously perturbed, but the waitress didn't notice or was used to it. I couldn't wait to purge on yelp when I got home still starving in spite of the mound of mash. I'm surprised this place gets such good yelps. I really hated every inch of this strange place.
