| - With such great reviews, I was excited to try this place but left utterly dissatisfied.
We were seated on what seemed to be a slow day and had to wait a few minutes before we were even attended to with just water. When asked if we wanted something else to drink we said fresh squeezed orange juice, which they happened to be out of. Unsure of when the server would get back to our table and to avoid waiting any longer, we decided to order right then. We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Huevos Rancheros THK Hash.
The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes came out smelling of lemon and sweetness. With that scent wafting towards our noses, we got really excited to eat. However, while it smelt so good the lemon flavour seemed more for show than for taste, as it was nonexistent whilst eating the pancakes. I love a good ricotta hotcake and this just tasted like a regular, below average pancake lacking serious flavour and very inconsistent - the first pancake was overcooked and dried whereas the second was chewy. Also, the maple syrup was not warmed it had been cooked because when you pulled it up it formed fine toffee strings, like spiderwebs which indicates it had been cooked.
The Huevos Rancheros THK Hash had the ever so slightest kick on some, not every, bite and was lacking in true Mexican flavour. The black beans seemed to be dried out and tasted of cardboard and there was an overabundance of red sauce poured over the meal.
Based on my experience, I would be reluctant to recommend.
