| - My fiancé and I took my mom here since she really enjoys the crepes. I had neither been here before nor had I heard of it, but was fine giving it a whirl for my mother.
The only thing I can REALLY remember is that the table was awfully sticky and my server made way more eye contact than was comfortable.
We walked in and I could tell the ambiance they were going for and noticed the "no cell phone" sign. I have to agree with other guests about this policy, on the weekends it's fine, but if it were a weekday I don't think it is reasonable to enforce because of work obligations. I could see asking people to silence their ringer, but a lot of people that go out to lunch during the workday need to have an idea of what's going on when they get back into the office. The only thing I could think of was that they wanted to turn over tables faster and according to a recent study people on their phones generally take longer to complete a meal.
Anyway, I was a little disappointed they only had their brunch menu available since I really wanted to order a specific salad from the lunch menu I saw online, but alas, I ordered the House Cured Wild-Caught Salmon Omelet off the brunch menu and it tasted like a brick of cream cheese.
It was okay, but the pile of greens with a berry vinegarette didn't really complement the salmon omelet. Also, the salmon omelette had WAY WAY too much cream cheese. I had to open the omelet up to dig some of it out and It almost seemed the extra cream cheese was to cover up the fact that there was a very small amount of salmon in it. I felt ripped off.
My mom's crepes were good, my fiancé's food was forgettable (I can't even remember what he had!) and the service was nice, but to be honest, it was awkward, at least for me.
I am not someone who makes a lot of eye contact, so this may be a personal thing, but I was uncomfortable with how much eye contact she would make when she would ask if I wanted more water.
I mean...just read your customers a bit better...I felt like she was staring at me a lot and I'd glance up and it was a hard stare.
Overall, I would take my mom here again if she wanted to go, but I wouldn't choose it on my own or recommend it to a group of friends.
