Another noisy yuppie Scottsdale breakfast spot. There are no booths just wide open room AND open kitchen which makes for a very noisy breakfast, shouting across the table at 9am on a Sunday and the place is only have full. I`ve read how the portions are huge, yes in deed, like Denny`s huge. Personally, I would rather have a balanced breakfast with enough food for the meal. I did not go here to have a meal AND get take out. Instead of 4 enormous pancakes and no sides, I prefer 2 pancakes, sausage/bacon/ or fruit. Why am I paying to have leftover pancakes that will be gross afterwards. Most other breakfast places I will get a cloth napkin. Here its one cheap paper napkin similar to mcdonalds. Those don`t work very well cleaning up syrup.
About the sanitary conditions, I did see the bartender put fruit garnish in a drink with her bare hands, GROSS! With what sounds like a culture of unsanitary conditions I would prefer my coffee creamer in sealed portion cups. Who knows how many of those silver, open portion cups they condense to serve new ones.
Food was meh. Banana macadamia pancakes just crumbles into pieces. Maybe because the stack was 4 high, its impossible to get a nice cut and not have mush. The sauce just tasted like pure white sugar. Why are my sausage links cut in half length wise? How about the presentation of nice golden brown sausage? Most up the staff looked under 20 years old and it showed in the service. Ugh never again at this place.
