| - A 3-egg Eggs Benedict with homemade Hollandaise for $9? I'm in.
I stopped in on my way to a meeting. The '50's motif was pretty authentic, if only the waitress had worn a period costume.
The eggs were cooked to a perfect state, with the yolk still oozy and the whites fully cooked. Two things I noticed: 1) the 3 eggs were poached in little bowls, so they did not have the "free-form" look of pot poached eggs, and 2) the Hollandaise must have been homemade, because it was broken.
I'm OK with the eggs, providing they are cooked to the right state. The Hollandaise, however, had separated (broken) into butter and cooked egg yolk particles, and was a bit heavy on the lemon juice.
Usually a restaurant will serve you two eggs for $12 or more, so regardless, this is a good deal. I will certainly go back, looking for the cook to redeem himself with a creamy Hollandaise. If that fails I'll still go back for eggs over easy.
Of course, there is the entire rest of the menu to explore...
