| - I went here this morning with high hopes. After "discovering" this place on yelp, it looked like a place I would love.. Unique breakfast dishes and close to home. The reviews were very favorable, so I gave it a try. It is a cute spot. You order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you when it is ready. I arrived early (Pre-7am) so it was not busy at all. I ordered the House Hash with eggs sunnyside up. The food arrived quickly. Like other posters mentioned, the hash was underseasoned. It had nice big chunks of meat, potatoes, peppers, etc, but it was just lacking in flavor. I rarely add extra salt or pepper in a restaurant, figuring the chef knows best, but I had to grab the shakers to give this dish some flavor. Another thing I found strange is that it is a breakfast dish (eggs, meat, etc) and it isn't served with any kind of bread or toast. I would expect a slice or two of a nice, freshly baked bread to accompany a breakfast dish like this.
And lastly, (and this is just a quirk of mine), as stated, you order at the counter and pay when you place the order. They ask you to sign your credit receipt (on the flipped around cash register tablet) and inquire about a tip before you even get your food or any real service. I tip based upon the food and service, so how can I know how much I should leave. I gladly leave 25% or more if everything is great.. But I will also tip a much smaller amount if things are substandard.
Bottom line, I will come back again, but I will try a different dish that hopefully is seasoned adequately.
