| - There's been a lot of buzz about this place, good and bad, and I finally got a chance to try it out for a late Good Friday brunch today. Take my three star review with a grain of salt, as it's hard for me to get into high end organic diners, which this is.
Pros:
Great ambiance; as far as the decor goes its really comfortable and cozy
Great service; our waiter was so friendly, but not overbearing. A great mix of friendly and distant.
They make everything there - smoke their own bacon, make their own english muffins, even make their own ketchup. It's a cool idea, and mostly successful
I had the eggs benedict, and it was cooked perfectly, Eggs were great, and the hollandaise avoided being overly rich.
Hesitations:
A bit on the pricey side...but that comes from them making everything there. Most brunch things were around 12 dollars, which isn't unreasonable considering they make everything there. It is expensive enough to keep me from going too often.
Cons:
The coffee was 2.50! That's crazy talk.
The "salad" that came as a side for my meal was just huge pieces of lettuce with a light lemony dressing which may have just been spillage from the hollandaise sauce. It was more of a lettuce side than a salad side. I should've opted for the potatoes.
