| - My experience was terrible here! The only reason why I've even given stars is for decor, some dishes, and some friendly staff.
I came here with 5 other friends and was quite disappointed. First off, it started with our waitress coming back 10 minutes later to tell me that they were unable to make the drink I ordered because they had ran out of apple juice. I guess after seeing all the strollers parked outside should have raised a flag for me - kids love apple juice right? Next, when ordering, our waitress continued to tell us that they basically didn't have any of the appetizers available anymore except for their $5 basket of bread. Um, no thanks. Almost 10 minutes later after placing our orders, our waitress comes back to tell us that they ran out of smoked salmon. WHAT?! I guess smoked salmon bennys is a popular dish on their menu but after noticing that you can pay $7 for a side of smoked salmon you would think they would have stocked up? Okay, now we got our food. ALL of us had at pouched eggs in our meals....wait, no we didn't. Didn't you know that bennys have soft boiled eggs? Well i guess all the other breakfast/brunch joints are doing it wrong. SO disappointed that a breakfast joint that has so many pouched eggs on their menu couldn't even make a pouched egg!! I wish I could have taken pictures of it. I mean, some of us got lucky and got their soft boiled egg closer to the soft side versus hard boiled. And why was their hollandaise sauce sour??? NEXT, we had a dish that served toast on the side. When my friend was about to pick it up and eat it, I quickly stopped her and told her to look at the other side of her bread - BURN TO A CRISP. The sad part is that they tried to hide it by putting the bad side down. I can't believe it. So we politely asked our waitress if we could get another slice and showed her the competely black side of the toast. She looked at us and paused as if nothing was wrong. So we had to ask again and she said "oh, you want another one?" UM - I don't know many people who like to eat completely burnt black bread but maybe she does. She came back 5 minutes later with new toast - YAY! ....not. Still burnt on one side but she showed us the side that was perfect. At least this time we could rip off the burnt pieces.
Overall, our entire table was quite disappointed in coming here but we remained polite and didn't say anything (other than the toast) to any of the staff and saved it all for this review. We will never come back and know that there are a ton other delicious restaurants for us to devour. :)
