This place wasn't as busy as I thought it would be, especially for Sunday brunch. There were still enough customers to keep most of the tables occupied though. I didn't like the concept of having to order at the counter because I didn't like having to make my decision of what to order under pressure, as there was a line forming behind us. I ended up hastily choosing the French toast. Boyfriend got the BLT. You can help yourself to tap water, which I tried to do, but the pitcher was empty and had to be brought to the counter for them to refill. (I know they are busy, but honestly water is pretty important and they need to find a better way to dispense water if they can't be attentive to the pitcher.) The table we sat at had crumbs on it from the previous diners and the knife and fork given to me for my French toast looked dirty.
Luckily, my French toast with berry compote was good. I also loved the way the home fries that came with the BLT were seasoned.
This place does have good brunch food, so if you don't feel like waiting in the long line at Pamela's around the corner, try Cafe Raymond, but don't have high expectations for service or cleanliness.
