| - Ummm, it was fine. I wish I had a more definitive thought either way, but it was so nondescript that you could've told me I was at any one of the many other restaurants it's been, and I would've believed you. They haven't changed a thing since it was The Mill (did The Mill change anything since it was Fishbone?). Man, it just feels so dated in there.
They open at 10:30 for Sunday brunch, so the fella, his parents, and I got there then. We were the first people there, but the manager and three hostesses seemed pretty disheveled when we walked in. It took a few minutes for the manager to get the menus and show us to our booth, which was at the far side of the building, and he felt the need to fill the walk with numerous questions like "what made you come in today?" Ugh. Once we were seated, our waitress was good and promptly took our order, refilled coffee/water when needed, and was really nice.
When the fella's mom ordered a waffle - of which there was literally an entire section on the menu - the waitress had to explain that they actually didn't have any waffles. Ummm, ok. She said they were still waiting on new menus, but no one had printed them yet. So his mom switched to the french toast, which is also what his dad got. I got the western omelette, and the fella got the breakfast burrito. Everything was... fine.
I wish I had something to note that really stood out, but I'm not even sure I'll remember this visit in a few days. I wish something really good would move into this building since it has such an awesome location, but I fear City Tavern is going to go the way of all the other restaurants that have been there.
