Maybe I came on an understaffed day or a bad day in general. I arrived on a beautiful Wednesday around noon craving breakfast after reading the rave reviews. The decor was lovely- the general ambiance was very intimate and upscale without being stuffy. The hostess and server were okay. Not the nicest and friendliest but not the worst service either. Downfall was that it was extremely loud even though we were seated upstairs.
My boyfriend loved his bacon waffle with fried chicken and a side of fruit. He wished that there was more bacon inside the waffle, but he did thoroughly enjoy it. I had a lot of problems with my food. I ordered a cappuccino (yummy!), the strawberry pancakes, side of fruit, and 2 sunny side up eggs. I could tell my food was ready first and sat for a while because the strawberries inside the pancakes made the pancakes soggier than they should have been- they were also lukewarm but I was starving so I just ate them. My eggs were also stone cold and I had to send then back. I can't comprehend how kitchen staff can send out cold eggs; sunny side up eggs are the easiest type of eggs to cook! After waiting so long on my meal the first time, I didn't even want to waste more time getting a replacement side for the eggs. Our meal came out to $32 which wasn't too bad at all.
Maybe I'm a little biased since I work in a restaurant myself and am super critical due to that. I've had a better breakfast at IHOP than here and that's saying a lot! I will probably try to come here again on a weekend and try to get the amazing, delicious food that everyone else has enjoyed since I have apparently missed out on a good thing.
