In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "I wish, I wish, I hadn't killed that fish" though in this instance replace "killed that fish" with "gone to wish".
I've been to wish twice now. I had fond memories of the first visit until the second I stepped in the door yesterday and remembered how horrendous the service was.
So let's go over the issues other people won't tell you. People tell you the food is amazing. Wrong.
You're telling me that you can't toast 2 pieces of rye, smash some freezing avocado on top of that and then place an over poached egg as the rotten cherry on top? If you can't do that you may have larger problems that finding a place to eat.
People will tell you it's "so quaint". Wrong again jerks!
It's ill conceived if anything. Oh a porch with swinging doors! That's a great idea in the middle of the fucking winter. Next!!!
There's unlimited coffee. Nope.
There's unlimited luke warm coffee.
By the way they have this everywhere but you know...rule of threes.
Now, onto my real beef, the service.
1. If I make a reservation at 1:30 and I'm not seated till 1:45, you fucked up.
2. If I say "my eggs are a bit over cooked" the best response probably isn't, "well, you didn't say you wanted them cooked runny". FYI, they're poached eggs!!!! They're runny!!!
3. When 2 other tables seated after my group then eat and leave before my food has arrived don't tell me that it's because "your order takes longer". Especially don't follow it up with "I just rushed your order" when you said it was being played 15 minutes ago!
If you leave here with nothing else it should be this:
Wish has passable food but they're all assholes.
