| - I've been to NCounter a couple of times now, and i am pleased to say I rather like it. The first time I ordered the pear omelet, which I remember scarfing down in a state of sweet, cheesy, eggy bliss. I also had a greyhound - fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and vodka - which really made my day for two reason: first, it combines three of my favorite things (grapefruit, vodka, greyhounds), and also because the juice is fresh.
My second time there I got the Farmer's Market, which is there vegetarian version of eggs Benedict: English muffin, tomato, spinach, avocado, poached egg, hollandaise. Yum. Most of the dishes are paired with potatoes, and I am happy to report that these are also excellent. Many of the breakfast potatoes around are mediocre at best, but there are nicely seasoned and cooked just right. I paired my meal with a cappuccino, the only disappointing part of my experience. If you want a cappuccino made the traditional way, with equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foam, then order it dry. Otherwise you will be served a latte. Send it back and you will be served another latte. Say something to the barista and you will be informed that you are wrong. Ah well, this really isn't such a big deal since there is a clear way around it.
NCounter will likely be making it into the regular rotation of breakfast places, especially on days when a breakfast cocktail is in order.
