| - We had breakfast here because it was close to our hotel. First impressions were not good and set a bad tone for the meal. It was busy and our server brought our coffees and juices.
The Mold: (the service)
My four year old opens a creamer and says she doesn't like it, so I'm about to pour it into my coffee when I notice a blue stain on the inside. Yes. It is mold. Furry stuff. What's worse is my kid just sipped this blue mold. I calmly tell the server and allow him to inspect the fuzzy little tub, and he says, "Yeah, it happens. I've had that happen before." and when I say, no, this is not normal or acceptable, he gets defensive and keeps telling me "it happens, ok?" As if this is a good answer?!! I work in the restaurant business and the first words out if his mouth should have been a sincere apology, and taking responsibility for the mishap. A new bowl of creamer would have been appropriate. Instead he just avoids us until the food arrives and never bothers to follow up with us again.
The Breakfast:
We had choc chip and blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and the sausage scrambler. The creamer mold made us all slightly nauseous so it's hard to say if the food was good or not. I was paranoid there was more hidden mold given the server's blase way about it. It seemed fairly ordinary, each plate decorated with a melon slice, but I had lost my appetite by then. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest breakfast joint for what you get. Plenty of other good diner options out there.
Definitely not returning.
