| - My experience was, in a word, disappointing.
I recently moved to the area, and wanted to try something new, so I suggested that we try out Dave's for lunch this past Sunday.
I had consulted the menu on the website in advance and everything looked ok. Even prior to walking into the restaurant, it was noted that the menu's were posted on the wall. I received clearance from everyone in my party before entering.
As soon as I opened the door, I noticed that the place was largely empty, which in my books usually raises an eyebrow. We were promptly greeted by the sole waitress in the restaurant and sat at the large table by the window. Rather than being handed the menus that were posted on the wall, we were handed brunch menus that were rather limited in scope. We asked if we could still order off of the lunch menu, and were quickly denied with a swift, 'I'm sorry, but it's only the brunch menu from 11am-3pm". Out of the 6 items listed, 4 had pork products included. Not being one much for the other white meat it made my choices rather limited. The breakfast pizza ($10) caught my eye, however the menu indicated that included in the toppings was bacon. Things were looking up, when the waitress said that I could order the pizza without the bacon. That was the high point of the meal.
Normally I consider myself to be a pretty easy eater. One thing that truely disgusts me, however, is runny eggs. It was noted that they made an effort to mention on one of the other menu items that the eggs were poached. As a result, when I saw on the menu that there was no mention of the eggs being poached, I automatically assumed that they would be completely fried. Oh how wrong I was. But, being the trooper that I am, I tried to give it a chance. It tasted like I was eating snot. It looked even worse. I tried to keep an open mind and give it a chance. I even tried closing my eyes and imagining that it was something else, however I couldn't get over the barrier.
Now, I must say that the waitress was very nice about it and offered to have something else prepared for me. However, at that point, the rest of my table had pretty much finished their meals, so I wasn't going to order something else and make everyone wait another 30-60 mins. Perhaps I was being too nice, but I did not push to have the bill reduced as I had more than a few bites out of the pizza.
I hate to give restaurants bad reviews because I am aware of the impact that they may have on other people's opinions, however there is no way that I can justify providing anything than one star based on my experience. Given that there are many other places to try in the St. Clair West area, I am not likely to return to Dave's any time soon.
