I watched my two friends enjoy their meals while I embarrassingly tried my best to finish my extremely disappointing Lox & Bagel. I really should've just requested to change my meal out or something.
I got their Lox & Bagel for breakfast. Unintentionally their most expensive item for breakfast at $13. It's listed right below their sandwiches which made me to believe that it too was a sandwich... a bagel sandwich... It wasn't. Nor was it assembled in halves. I'm still very confused about how this was served. Why must I work to setup my own food? Especially breakfast while I'm half awake!?!
But that's not the main problem. After quickly trying to spread the cream cheese onto the bagel and then assembling a tradition Lox Bagel sandwich, I tried my best to cut the bagel into two. The bagel was a very hard over toasted crunch on the outside and an unpleasant tough stale-like chewy inner. This not only was a challenge for my knife, it was also a task on my teeth and jaws as I tried to take my first bite. The bagel really ruined any last possibility of this being an enjoyable breakfast for me.
Maybe it was my lack of sleep that didn't immediately complain or at least notify the staff to at least offer another bagel. Maybe I'm just non confrontational in person. Maybe I was too embarrassed to be dissatisfied with my expensive breakfast in front of my two friends who both got delicious looking meals before mine even came out.... unassembled...
I should've gotten the smothered burrito...
