| - Two of us went there for Saturday morning brunch. I'm giving it one star only because giving it negative stars is not an option. My guess is that the only reason this place stays in business is because of its location and unknowing tourists.
I love crepes and order them every chance I get. While the bacon, onion, havarti, egg combination sounded perfect on a cold, rainy day, the execution failed miserably. First, these are not crepes--they are tortillas, and not even good tortillas. They are pre-made, packaged, thick, stiff and flavorless. The onions were rancid and overwhelming. The bacon was soggy. The Havarti cheese never had a chance of melting because the other ingredients were stone cold. Thankfully, the "crispy" potatoes were edible, though there was nothing crispy about them--they were baby reds that had been sautéed with some oil.
And how hard is it to pull off a breakfast sandwich? It, too, was cold and the huge bun completely overwhelmed the inside ingredients. My friend will eat anything--it's the first time I've ever seen food left on his plate.
The service was timely, but the servers inexperienced, and after taking our ordered were never seen again. We had to ask a bus boy to get our check because we never saw our waitress again. We tipped her 20%, because we are generous and have been in the industry in the past ourselves, but a less understanding couple would have stiffed her.
Scottsdale has no shortage of good restaurants. This is not one of them. For brunch you would be better served going to the Breakfast Club or Starbucks next door.
