| - I would give this establishment one star, yet three of the five people in my party enjoyed their meals. I, however, was very excited to try their "vegetarian rainbow Benedict." After reading the ingredients, it sounded appealing, and I figured that this city is probably a good place to get this type of dish (Benedicts seem to be on every breakfast menu, and I ordered the eggs florentine at Sunset Grill which was very good), yet I knew something was odd when I saw the plate. The eggs looked odd-certainly not like a typical poached egg. They were probably cooked in some sort of mold. Upon breaking into the first egg, I noticed it was mostly solid on the inside. I didn't even need to try it to know it was overcooked. The other was even more overcooked. To make matters worse, the vegetables that accompanied it were all undercooked, and did not blend well together at all. The spinach was raw (a pet peeve of mine in a dish like this). However, I must commend them on the side potatoes, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I hope I don't sound snobbish, yet when a restaurant has several Benedict dishes on their menu (I believe there were four or five here), one would expect that the chefs can prepare the dish properly. I can cook a poached egg and I don't have any formal training. I was just disappointed really. On the bright side, two of the dishes in my party were apparently good-goat's cheese omelette and something with lox (I can't remember what). All in all, the quality of the food was certainly not worth the steep price.
