| - J and I decided to try this little spot near the South Side Works this morning. The wait was 15-20 minutes for a table of 2. Not too bad, as J got to smoke. Once our table was ready, we were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken. Then the mess started. I ordered herbal tea, and the small metal teapot for hot water they gave me was warped, causing me to spill hot water all over our table. After we cleaned up, the waiter came over to take our breakfast orders. Pretty simple: I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with scrambled eggs, Cheddar, and turkey sausage. J ordered bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, and homefries. It took them 45 minutes to bring our food. Crazy because there were only 6 other tables with guests there. We noticed that a few other patrons got their food orders late as well. I looked into the kitchen (my chair was facing there) and noticed one of the cooks on her phone and the other two men engaged in a conversation. Where was our food? After waiting, they finally brought out our food, which was mediocre at best. As J would put it, "We could have made this at home ourselves". Worst of all for J? We were there for over an hour and no one offered to refill his coffee, despite a waitress passing our table with a full pot multiple times. When we got up to leave, we noticed that the 4 people that were seated about 5 minutes after us still were not served. Needless to say, on to the next one...
