My mother and I went here for a Saturday afternoon lunch. She said she had come here with a friend and said she enjoyed her time here.
We arrived and I must admit I did like the atmosphere. It was quite classy and it was peaceful as we were one of a few handful patrons that were there.
We were greeted and seated quite promptly by the hostess
We were greeted by the server as well..who..to be quite honest did not look like she wanted to be there at all. I have to give her some slack though because it did seem like she was the only server for lunch.
My mom and I ordered the same thing: the benedict - both for 13 dollars which is .. i suppose reasonable for the yorkville area. My mother, who is quite demanding I am aware, wanted her eggs runny and not too well done. A few minutes later, I heard the waitress yell that order to her kitchen staff. I don't know if they're aware that we could hear them - which was albeit fine because not like anything rude was said.
The food came and it was average. I dont think it was worth 13 dollars as its just the egg muffin, the eggs and some fruit whereas other places would include meat, toast and potatoes but whatever. My mother found quite a large eggshell in her food and she pointed it out the waitress. My mom, being picky (i am aware), said that this had never happened to her before. The waitress did not apologize and asked if everything else was okay. We were promptly given the bill (without a discount for the eggshell) and the waitress did not thank us and did not greet us goodbye.
Overall, Id rate it a 2. The food was okay but I did not enjoy the service - and she seemed like she'd rather be anywhere than there.
