| - I've eaten at the Hash Kitchen on many occasions, both at this location and at the Scottsdale Road restaurant and my normal rating of this place would be 4 stars. Usually the service is exemplary, unfortunately, not today. Perhaps they were extra busy because of the Veterans Day crowd, but the service was definitely sub-par. Upon being seated and ordering our mimosas and coffee, we waited quite awhile before our drinks arrived. When the drinks did come, they forgot my husband's mimosa. I usually ask for no potatoes with my meal (I'm not a fan and don't like wasting food), I did the same today. When my breakfast arrived, so did the bowl of potatoes. Our waiter didn't seem to be able to focus and it was difficult to get his attention so that we could order refills on our coffees and mimosas. It was quite awhile before he returned to our table after taking our initial order.
Perhaps the most unnerving aspect of breakfast was the music. When we first arrived, the music was playing quietly in the background, however, after about 10 minutes, one of the servers decided to crank the music up. Definitely too loud for a breakfast atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, I like music to accompany my meal, but not when it makes it difficult to have a conversation. Luckily we were seated at a distance from the speakers, I can't imagine the experience of those patrons seated near the speakers, it must have been a nightmare. I noticed quite a few of the diners looking back at the speakers and none were smiling.
I do like the menu offerings of this restaurant but won't be visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright location again. I'll take my chances on the Hash Kitchen on Scottsdale Road and hope for better service and a quieter atmosphere.
