| - I've been to Betty's Nosh a few times, just for breakfast on Sunday mornings. Basically I was following Chef Ray because he makes a great Omelet. The first time I went, we all stood in line while he cooked, I liked that along with the chit chat between the Chef and I. It's probably better now, we sit down and our order is taken. Ray is out front and you can watch him prepare the Omelets but some of the fun is missing. There is a down side to standing in line, that is the Omelets are great and if you weren't there early the line for Chef Rays Omelets got pretty long and you spent a long time standing.
I was very happy for Ray opening Betty's Nosh; I wasn't familiar with the partners. Betty's Nosh, feels very open, while having well defined areas inside and out, I find the decor very pleasing, comfortable, and although I've only been there in the morning, I think that is my loss. The Mushroom bar looks very tempting, along with the full bar, outside dinning, and the cozy fire place, it looks like a very pleasant place to relax in the evening,
Betts's Nosh's lay out will easily accommodate business lunch groups, and even more so, celebrations while groups of friends can have a nice get together. Betty's Nosh is very comfortable; I'd say there is a kind of joyfulness that permeates the place; it comes across through Chef Ray. I do have to agree with other reviews, that the wait staff seems a bit indifferent, and I've been apologized to "for the wait" every time, I've been there.
Waiting for the check one time, (I do like to eat and run), the last time we sat, waiting for the wonderful Omelet and side Scalloped Potatoes, Yum! My wife only orders it so I can have more. Only to find that 30 minutes later, the waiter, had just remembered that he needed to place the order at Ray's Chef Station. I've liked everyone on the staff that I've dealt with but they seem preoccupied or disorganized somehow. Ray, his Omelets, the feel of the place makes me want to go, but the wait, makes me hesitate. I want this place to succeed and I ache for Ray that enthusiasm and professionalism is missing in the front, I wish more of it would rub off on them.
