| - Cute little place in the uptown core.
My friend and I stumbled upon this place because we'd been refused seats at T- Buds Tea Lounge down the street, and were looking desperately for some brunch.
The place was empty when we walked in (I'm guessing due to brunch hours being over?) and we were the only customers.
We got our menus and I finally decided on the Santa Fe omelette ($8) +$1 for egg whites. This omelette had julienned peppers in a spicy tomato mushroom sauce. My friend settled for the shrimp linguine ($12). I also ordered a coffee ($1.75).
The food arrived quickly and my omelette was accompanied with a green salad with some mango type of dressing, and "home fries" which were chunks of potatoes. The omelette was superb! It was really spicy with the sauce but that's how I like it! Salad was a great add, too. Didn't try the fries as they looked kind of oily but my friend tried them and said they were great!
I also tried a shrimp from my friend's linguine and it was perfect!
Coffee was quite good, too.
My total came to about $12.50, which was pretty good considering the amount I had just eaten and how full I was. Plus, brunch in this area does normally get pricey.
Decor was nice as well. Frank Sinatra playing in the background was a great touch.
The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is due to the service. Our waitress was nice, but she gave us one bill, and we wanted separate bills. When I asked for a separate bill (very politely), she threw me a very rude look.
Also, I think she was setting up the bistro for dinner when we were eating, and kept shooting us looks of "can you leave soon?!" every now and then. Not fun.
Other than that, I really oddly liked this place. I want to come back for this omelette alone, but want to also try more of their egg dishes.
So close to a 5!
