| - 2.5 Stars, mainly for the food and ambience, service was lacking. Came on a weekday morning for breakfast with friends.
Sizable food portions, generous with ingredients, quite tasty. Tri-coloured potatoes were cute and delicious, coming from someone who doesn't usually touch the potatoes on a breakfast plate. Restaurant has a warmth to it, nice place to linger a bit after the meal (although one of my buddies said the chair was not very comfortable to sit for a long time).
Waitress had lovely smiles for us and was polite, but service was disappointing:
- When I was placing my order, I asked to change the cheese (any other cheese instead of feta) and was told I'm not allowed to do that. To change the cheese, I would have to do the make-your-own eggs, which would probably result in a higher price. Come on, it's a simple cheese-for-cheese switch, I wasn't asking to switch cheese for bacon / another ingredient from a different food category. Why so inflexible? This was probably a restaurant rule and not the fault of the waitress, so hopefully the restaurant would consider lightening up a bit.
- Waitress did not do a check-in after food was served. I had to flag her down to ask for something after waiting and realizing she wasn't going to ask how everything was going.
- She did not refill our glasses of water at all. We ordered other drinks but finished those AND our water, and even though the restaurant wasn't all that busy, she didn't stop by to ask if we wanted to add more drink orders nor refill our water.
- We didn't need to ask for the bill. She approached us to ask if we wanted to split the bill. Not so subtle "it's time to leave" signal ~ but there was no line-up at the door, what's the hurry?
She did offer boxes for our doggy bags and she didn't display any signs of annoyance. So it didn't leave an unpleasant aftertaste, but I will probably look for another restaurant to visit when I'm in the area next time.
