| - I really really wanted to love this place... 3 stars for now with a personal promise to go back and give this place another chance. Especially since I didn't even try the famous smoked meat (It's Friday, planning to have Stockyards tonight and I didn't want to get meated-out).
I went there as part of a stroller caravan; three new moms with sleeping babes in tow. We were put off at first because we were told that we couldn't be accommodated on the patio (at least five empty tables) and to go inside, only to see that the inside had far less space. The owner (we ass-u-me'd was the manager) Zane, who was inside, took us back out and we got a great table by the patio side entrance that had more than enough room for our brigade.
I ordered the LEO, enticed by the promise of shmaltz fried onions, eggs, lox and latkes. But the latkes were disappointingly small, like timbit sized. The eggs with lox were lovely, but the rye toast was fine but nothing special. Yeah I was still hungry after.
One of my lunch partners had the meat hash, which I sampled and liked but maybe not enough to order. Using the word 'leftovers' in the menu description is a bit unappetizing. (Take Chinese fried rice for example, it's made with leftovers - or at least it should be - but we'd never describe it that way on the menu would we? Oops did I just let out a secret?)
