I love shopping local - being involved with the movement since its early day when LocalFirstAZ just started - so I actually waited almost two weeks to write this.
I went in to The Smith (great name and logo) and was confused about whether or not to seat myself, but someone called to me and let me know they'd help me in a minute. Kinda awkward.
I got my table and ordered a build your own omelet right away. The omelet came quickly. It was basically an overlooked disc of eggs with a melted slice of cheese in a lump and some veggies stuck to it on one side. There was also a side of potatoes that had great flavor but were really dry and warm-ish
The server checked back (yay!) and I explained my problem. He looked at me like eggs were supposed to be mottled brown discs and unenthusiastically asked what he could do for me. I suggested I'd just take some scrambled eggs and eat them with my veggies. I requested that they weren't brown "in any way". My next dish was a browned bunch of eggs.
I asked for the manager who turned out to be the owner, Roscoe. He was nice and told me he was interested in honest feedback so I shared my thoughts. I said I'd try again another time because other dishes looked good around me, but the egg situation should be given some attention.
The decor was almost there but too industrial to be comfortable - very cold and unhappy. The music was also cool, bands I love, but too fast to eat to.
Hopefully, honest, constructive feedback will be considered because I'd really like to see Roscoe and team succeed.
