| - Went with the girl's book club (ie. wine club.. hehe) for brunch today. Good thing one of the gals had made reservations for our party of 9 because this place was SUPER busy and crowded on late Sunday morning. This is a new place to the area, so there were a lot of expectations with the new place. Here's what went down:
Our server was a nice, young gal that seemed overwhelmed with our group - we kept having to ask her and then ask again for things like coffee, coffee mugs, creamer, pens for the check, etc. I was baffled by their so-called coffee mugs - I swear the damn thing could only contain 5oz of coffee!! Everytime you sipped, you had to refill.. oh, and why would you serve a table of 9 only ONE CARAFE of coffee when they're clearly drinking through that stuff and keep asking for refills? That boggled me! To make it worse, we realized cups of coffee were over 2 dollars each! Really? This was not some kind of Organic, Fair-Trade Starbucks brew, this was US Egg.. give me a break.
I had the Scottsdale Salad (yeah, I know, what a dumb name) which was actually very tasty: perfect amount of well cooked onions, apples, and chicken over Spinach. I did see a lot of empty plates, but didn't hear too many praises, so I'm not sure what to report on that.
Overall, the service gal was nice but not very functional at her job; the food I had was tasty, plentiful, but I can't review their 'breakfast items' at this point (I may have to come again).
The place is well decorated, new, and hoppin', so I'm saying I could give it another shot .. it was not a bad experience as a whole.
