| - WOW! I've been wanting to check this place out, as many friends have given glowing recommendations about it. Today was the day.
First I should say that we hit The Hash Kitchen around 10:00 a.m. on a Wednesday. There was no wait, yet the restaurant was bustling with patrons, servers and other staff. What struck me from the beginning was the wide open space. Tables nicely spaced, set with cutlery and nice cotton napkins. Great acoustics, too. A conversation can be had and heard.
Our waiter, Gino, stepped in prompty, exuding his friendly mannerisms and immediately made us feel like a member of the family. It was obvious that he would accomidate any request or change of established order. It came across as if it was his life's mission to make sure we had everything we needed. A rarity in today's ever impersonal society.
Our order came very quickly. It was hot and appealing to the eye. I had the Lump Crab Eggs Benedict and it was seasoned perfectly. I had not experienced crab with hollandaise sauce before...it may be in my dreams from now on.
Mom had classic Eggs Benedict, with special requests. There was not the blink of an eye as it was served. She ate well and seemed to enjoy each bite. She was a little miffed that I didn't order her a Bloody Mary instead of the hot tea that is her normal morning beverage. A mistake I won't make again.
When ordering, I was offered fresh O.J., a mimosa or a bloody mary. This surprised me, as they are normally brunch type drinks. How wonderful to be able to have a brunch kind-of-meal 7 days a week.
This place rivals some of the best in the Valley for ambiance, cleanliness, generous portions, truly personal service and prices that will not break the bank. It's a winner!
Many thank to the hostess, Aimee, for her smile, sense of humor and the menu to take home.
We will most definately be back/
