| - 2.5/5
I hate to give this place such a low review after all the amazing things I've read, but it really just didn't "wow" me.
We came here on Good Friday, they did have a prix fixe menu but we opted to a la carte some of the other items.
I ordered a bellini, but they gave me a mimosa instead. I am both a bellini and mimosa fan so I kept the mimosa. My boyfriend had an orange juice, though we both felt that $4.50 for a very small flute of OJ is a bit overpriced.
We were given some complimentary bread, though no butter or anything to accompany it. It was okay.
I went with the eggs benny. The croissant was nice, buttery, flakey, and obviously very freshly baked; I am also a big fan of their hollandaise! Unforutnately, my eggs were very overcooked and the asparagus & bok choy that accompanied it were looking a bit sad.
My boyfriend in his usual breakfast fashion ordered two dishes - the stuffed french toast & the eggs & sausages. The stuffed french toast was good, as were the sausages (nice & smoky!). He complained that his eggs were too runny for his liking, and I did see that the table beside us sent their eggs back for the same thing.
We had the chocolate cake for dessert. It was good, but not really a stand-out. The passion fruit sorbet that came with it was delicious though, we devoured it pretty quickly!
Service was okay, but a bit absent. I felt that we had to go out of our way to get our servers attention most of the time.
I think I may give this place a 2nd chance, as many of the reviews seem to be stellar, hopefully the experience will be a bit better! :)
