| - This place was all right--an easy walk from our hotel, and way less expensive than the hotel restaurant, so I award at least two convenience tourist points.
I agree with Angela L. that the eggs benedict were overcooked--mine were just a little more jelly-like than usual, but SK's were almost totally hard! SK liked the seasoning on the potatoes, but it didn't do much for me. Latte was OK.
It was very crowded so service to our table was a bit slow, but we couldn't resent it, because our server was totally running her tail off--clearly doing the best she could. There were only two servers (who were also hosting), one person bussing tables, and what seemed to be just one guy cooking--and the place was PACKED.
We had a window seat, which was nice, but on the other side of us (a bit too close for comfort) was the cart where all the dirty dishes and other garbage were being piled up. I get that it's a tiny joint, at that there needs to be a convenient place to dump stuff and wheel it all back to the kitchen at once....but I feel like that spot should not be....next to a customer's table.
It got us what we needed--hot food in our bellies for a chilly day of wandering the city. But probably wouldn't go back, or really recommend to others, unless we could guarantee it wouldn't be so mobbed. With a little more time and attention, or staff spread a little less thin, I think it could be a nice little spot.
