| - We needed to find a place that wouldn't take an hour or more to get seated, so I suggested why not try Wake. Not the greatest idea. Actually, I blame it on my sister, who said it was great, so I believed her (thanks sister, pfft).
Both of my friends felt the server was extremely awkward and didn't attend to us well. I just think he's new at serving, so I cut him a break. Ok, so maybe he didn't make eye contact and seemed to hate the fact that there was a higher male to female ratio at the table but still...maybe he's just really new.
I had the Salmon Egss Benedict, and wasn't impressed. The smoked salmon was WAY too salty, the eggs were fine, but the sauce and the egg combined were so wet and saucy that after 4 bites and a bit of talking, the bread underneath was so soggy, it was gross. You should be able to recognize your food after a few bites, this thing was suc a mess, that it had contorted into mush, that smelled like fish. Dramatic sounding, but true.
Another friend had the vegetarian omelet and said it was quite bland. The other had the meatatarian something or other and said it was ok. All in all my bill came to $20 for my breakfast and a coffee, which I thought was way too much, especially since it was so unsatisfying I stopped eating it halfway through. I ended up going to Beano after and getting a bran muffin to sustain me through the morning.
The decor looks exactly like the old store it was, and they haven't removed the gelato freezer at the front, which I think doesn't look appealing. It looks quite drab inside, and I don't think I'd try this again.
