| - This review is a little difficult for me.
My friend and I first went to the restaurant down the street, but the wait was too long for our bellies to bear. With many other viable options close by, the long wait probably means the food is worth it. Anyways...
I saw that Squash Blossom was right down the street, so we gave it a try. We were seated right away in the disheveled interior section across from the fruit, pastry, and juice display set up for brunch.
The fruit, bakeries, and cold items were all great, and the spread on the bar looked inviting. The mini cinnamon buns were my favorite.
On the other hand, the hot items (eggs, potato hash, bacon, pork sausage, chicken) were just run of the mill. But at $10/person it's really hard for me to complain about quality. Ya get what ya pay for.
The omelette station was a nice touch, but the literal 35 minute wait for the two egg omelette took away any value having an omelette station created. So, me being me, I tried to deduce why the omelette making process was taking so long. Maybe they were waiting for the chicken to lay more eggs. Maybe they ran out of butane fuel and had to use a flintstone to create a fire hot enough to cook eggs. Or maybe the cook was just legitimately overwhelmed, and one of the three servers meandering around could have stepped behind the burners to help him crank out some omelettes. There's no "I" in omelette.
Our server was great. He was very attentive and personable.
All in all, I left unsatisfied with the food, but at that price what can I say? I'm sure there's much more appetizing items on the menu for lunch or dinner, but I am apprehensive to return.
