| - I was hesitant to try this place, not because I'd ever tried any of the other place that had been located here (as many of the reviewers thus far had and it seems they were all bad) but rather I was hesitant because of the name. I wasn't sure what I was going to get myself into and lately I've been looking for comfort more then 'new'.
But yesterday during our first 'snow storm' of 2014 we didn't want to travel far for brunch but with the rarity of no kids we wanted to treat ourselves. I looked up this restaurant here on yelp and found enough information about the food to try it.
First I must agree with all I read, our server was wonderful. Attentive but not over baring, even asking if I needed my apple cider warmed up incase it'd cooled to much (since id only been sipping it, mostly because it actually was so hot to start which I was happy with)
Next the atmosphere is quite nice, bright, clean. Music at a nice level and busy but not loud, which is always a bonus in my books.
My husband had a latte that he said was excellent and I had the hot apple cider which was nice, sweet so if you are wanting a more tart cider then this ones not it.
We both decided on the traditional eggs benny. It came with some delicious homemade potatoe's and a little side of fresh fruit with a yogurt-ginger dollop on top. I enjoyed the fruit though my husband did not like the amount of juice in the bowl with the fruit. The eggs were cooked well and enjoyable. Though our only mutual thought was the eggs themselves seemed rather small compared to the meat and bread and their was not any big wow flavour from the sauce, meat, bread or the combination that would bring it above other places that we frequent for our Benny cravings.
Overall great service, nice atmosphere and decent food. We would visit here again.
Though i will note since we have 4 kids and a 5th on the way we asked about a kids menu and pricing and though they did not have a kids menu they had off menu options. Note, all options were $9.99/ea which in our family is a bit to much. So we'll visit during the rare days we have to ourselves and feel like staying close to our area of town.
