| - I ate here this morning (10/7/12) with my family. The waitress and hostess were nice, but it took 45 minutes for our food to be ready. When I went to eat my omelet, I realized the inside was completely raw. The waitress politely offered to fix it. The cooks threw my omelet back on the pan, then returned it to the original plate on which it was served (with the raw eggs). I decided not to make a big deal, and just ate some of my mom's breakfast instead. When the waitress asked why I didn't eat it, I said how it was served on the plate that had raw eggs and I didn't want to risk getting sick. She said it's fine because it had been cooked to "a certain temperature." I didn't think you needed a degree in food science to to understand the basics of cross-contamination, but apparently by the waitress and cook's behavior, I was wrong. The owner was nice and took it off the bill, but I left hungry as I certainly wasn't going to wait another 45 minutes for something else. At one point, my mom politely asked if our food was going to be ready soon, and the waitress said "it takes a long time, because it's gourmet." I'll think I'll pass on the gourmet raw omelet, long wait, and seemly unclean kitchen in the future...
