| - We chose this place for breakfast this morning because of the wonderful reviews on yelp. I was certain it was going to be one of my new favorite places.
We entered into a brightly painted orange restaurant and stood at the hostess stand for a few minutes waiting for the hostess to finish flirting with the server and notice us. She clearly didn't want to be there and could care less where we sat, so opted for the table in the window.
We sat and waited and waited and waited. Tables that were sat after us already had their drinks and they were not busy. Finally I tried to get the attention of the hostess who was standing half asleep at the hostess stand, mouth open wide, eyes half closed. A few minutes later we finally had a server.
Our server was not very friendly. I don't even think she said good morning. We ordered. Tables sat after us already got their food and we finally got our drinks. She bought out 2 cups of coffee, but I did not order coffee so I made her take that back.
Our food finally arrived. We ordered french toast which came with strawberries, bananas and a cinnamon sauce, eggs benedict with crab cakes and two orders of country potatoes.
Breakfast was pretty good. I enjoyed my crab cake and the cinnamon sauce on the french toast was a nice added touch. The potatoes were not good, they had WAY too much pepper on them, I couldn't even eat them. Gary ate a few of his after he drowned them in ketchup.
We never saw our server again. We got a water refilled after we finished our meal. AND THE WAIT BEGAN. We waited and waited and waited for our check. Tables that were sat when we finished eating had already finished their food. We never saw our waitress. I guess we were her only table, if not I felt bad for her other tables as well.
Finally some guy brought us our check and tried to drop it off and run, I said WAIT and gave him my card and said, "If I don't give this to you now it may be 20 more minutes before we see someone again"
Because I didn't look at the bill first when he brought it back I didn't notice until after I paid that they charged me $12.05 for the eggs benedict when their menu actually said $10.50. I didn't say anything... I just left a sad tip.
We were there for OVER an hour, they had lots of empty tables, and we only saw our server once.
Gary and I always over tip, because he and his family owned restaurants in the Valley for 35 years. He has spent a lot of time being a chef and serving tables. We know that when food comes out wrong, it's probably not the servers fault, and things happen, so we still tip well. TODAY, I felt like we were invisible and I have no idea where our server disappeared to for the hour.
We drove by Over Easy, La Grande Orange and IHOP to try this place. We probably will not be back... unless we decide to give it a second try on jazz night... I do love jazz.
