| - Oh man...I REALLY wanted to love this place. The reviews have been amazing, the location is perfect and the menu looked delicious. Let me just start this review by saying that I came here with a friend on our lunch break so I get that it could be busy. I would also like to say that I will be back to try something else, because I don't believe in giving a place a mediocre rating and then never returning to see if my experience improves. BUT...This review is for this visit only. Ok, let's begin shall we:
Like I said before, my friend and I came here on our lunch break so by the time we got there it was around 11:30. Neither of us had been there before and the host was very friendly and helped us get acquainted with the place. We both looked the amazing menu over and both decided on omelets to go. I got the pHuel gravlax, herbed goat cheese, fresh tomato, shallot and capers omelet. She got the carmelized onion, mushrooms and goat cheese omelet. Both came with our choice of toast, house potatoes and fruit. Despite it being around lunch it wasn't that busy inside. We had ordered and then a small rush came in like 5 mins later so we assumed we were good. I ordered the green smoothie to drink while we waited, which was warm but good anyway. By the time it got to be almost noon my friend had to leave bc her boss is not as lenient with the lunch hour as mine is. So I stayed behind waiting for our food and the host kept coming over asking if I was STILL waiting and telling the cooks to hurry up bc I had been there for a long time (at least 20 mins at that point). I wasn't upset (and still am not upset) or anything I just didn't expect to be waiting around that long for an omelet. The people that work here are extremely friendly and made my wait more palatable.
Ok so back to the food: the potatoes are delicious!! You don't get many but it's a good portion for lunch without making me feel tired later. The gravlax (cured salmon) was good and the herbed goat cheese was OMG good. I was disappointed that the fruit we were supposed to get only consisted of one half of a strawberry and one small slice of pineapple. :( I love fruit so I was hoping for more. My order also didn't have my toast that I ordered in it so my friend let me have one of her slices. Overall the meal was decent but I'd probably order something else on my next visit.
And that's the main thing here...although this visit wasn't the greatest, the intriguing menu and very friendly staff made me want to give it another shot.
