| - eeeeeee I'm sorry Square Cafe, but I'm taking a star away. Don't hate me. I still really like you. I'm just downgrading from "love" to "really like." I have tried a few other food items besides the Hopple Popple, and none of them have been 5 star worthy brunches. I just came in Saturday around 11 (and, delightfully, we barely waited for a table), and the menu was all different. That was exciting. I decided to try the Green Eggs and Ham - pesto scrambled eggs with ham. It was all pretty good - eggs didn't have quite as strong of a pesto taste as I'd like (my boyfriend's mom observed that they tasted more like "basil" and less like "pesto"). But the ham was pretty tasty.
I tried my boyfriend's fried chicken and biscuits, and I was super not-impressed. No. Where to begin. Chicken was boneless, and breaded in a coating similar to what you get when you get fish 'n' chips. It was sort of like....a chicken finger....in fish breading. I can't explain it any better. But it was sort of bizarre in that way. The gravy had a strange taste to me, a little too sweet perhaps? And the biscuits were more crumbly, less flaky. Also my boyfriend's mom got the sausage and ricotta frittata, and she said it was pretty good, but didn't have much sausage to go around. I tried it too - the sausage was tasty, but definitely not plentiful.
The last few times I've been in, I've felt this way - like the food isn't quite as good as I remember it. Still, service is great, atmosphere is adorbs, and I still just like being there. I should also say that the one time I didn't have good service, the manager dealt with it FABULOUSLY, and was hugely responsive to me. It gave me a great vibe about the place and encourages me to keep coming back and trying more brunch items.
