I was impressed by how cute and cozy the restaurant is. Our waiter was amazing, very knowledgeable about each plate, funny, and genuine.
My mimosa was rather yummy as well.
Now for the food: As my friend that ate brunch with me, "This place did not blow my hair back." The food was not that appealing. I cook better brunch/breakfast meals that what I experienced there. I had the : Arizona Omelet for $10
which comes with three eggs scrambled with caramelized onion, tomato and cilantro, green chili crème and avocado salsa, 9-grain bread, café potatoes & fresh fruit*
Ok, so you would think that my meal would have been overly, lip smacking, yummylicious delicious; it was not! The caramelized onions were overpowered by the tomato and cilantro, the green chili creme and avocado salsa were missing their sex appeal/flavor/spice. The 9-grain bread was yummy, and the fruit was decent. The potatoes were the best thing on my plate.
Also, my friend wanted to have their "Best Crabcakes in Phoenix" as a part of his meal, but they would not do it. They only have the crab cakes as a sandwich and nothing else. He really wanted to have a crab cake omelette, which sounded like a great idea, but in order to do so, they would have to "add" the crab cake to the bill, for an additional $9.00. Give me a break!! Coming from the East Coast where I enjoyed many seafood delicacies at the NJ/NY/MD shores, I am sure that their crab cakes are not even worth an additional $9.00.
I digress!!
Overall, everything was pleasant. I will more than likely not go back to eat, but I am happy that I got to visit and see what the hype is supposedly over!
Cheers
