| - At this posting, Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge had only been open for three weeks. It appeared that the staff was been able to work-out most of the "new restaurant" bumps-in-the-road.
My party of four arrived at 10 AM on a Sunday morning. The first wave of the "after-church" crowd were arriving and, about 60-70% of the tables were full. The hostess indicated that we would be seated within 5-10 minutes, however, we were taken to our table within 2-3 minutes. Our server greeted us within 3-4 minutes and took our beverage orders. Coffee and water were very quickly served. The coffee was flavorful, hot and much better than what we have been served in many other restaurants. Our initial cup of coffee was poured and a carafe of coffee was placed on the table. If there were any specials, we were not notified of them.
The menu contained a wide variety of innovative breakfast and lunch entrees. Many of the dishes have a southwestern flavor with distinctive ingredients, e.g. napalitos (prickly pear cactus pads). The prices are competitive. A diner who drinks only one cup of coffee might find the $2.25 charge excessive. Our server did tell us that the restaurant also offers a create-your-own omelet option, which was not on the menu.
Our server was attentive, friendly, willing to accommodate a special order (substituting a portobello mushroom for the meat in an egg entree), and kept our coffee and water containers full. The quality of service we received from her was superior for this type of restaurant and indicative of her having been a server for over ten years.
Our entree order consisted of the PCH Benedict (shared), the Chorizo Benedict (with the portobello substituted for the chorizo), and a burger. Our server asked the needed questions to ensure that food arrived as desired, e.g. how would you like the eggs in the Benedict cooked? Our entrees arrived within 10-12 minutes, which was an acceptable time period for us. The shared dish was split in the kitchen, which was appreciated and is becoming very unusual for restaurants in this price range. The restaurant does not charge for splitting an order.
Our egg and burger dishes were prepared as ordered and served hot. The whites of the poached eggs were fully cooked. The Hollandaise sauce was smooth and creamy with a light yellow and opaque color. The seasoned fries were firm, hot, flavorful without being overly spicy. The peppered red potatoes were firm (perhaps, slightly undercooked) and had distinctive, but pleasurable flavor.
Our server checked-back with us several minutes after we were served. The discount coupon we presented was honored without any problems and our server pointed-out to us the credit on the bill.
While the restaurant has a few vegetarian breakfast and lunch entrees, they appear to be willing to accommodate modifications including substituting a portobello mushroom for the meat in egg and burger dishes.
Both the men's and women's restrooms were clean and well-stocked with supplies. While our party thought that the restaurant would benefit from additional sound-absorbing material, we were able to adequately hear each other and the background noise did not significantly impact or ability to converse. adorn The walls are adorned with two substantial murals and smaller nicknacks.
The Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge does have a Facebook page, but the menu is not posted. If restaurant has a webpage, it was not listed within the first two pages of a Google search. The latter situation needs to be resolved quickly by the restaurant owners.
I look forward eating at this restaurant again and exploring other menu offerings.
