You know a place is good when every one else is closing or offering 2 for one specials but at the West Side Market Cafe you still have to wait in line to get in. I first visited the cafe on a really hot day in June because there is a big sign that said "ice cream". Guess what? They don't serve ice cream. Apparently the sign is a relic of an ancient incarnation of the space. But stumbling on it like that was a very lucky day for me. Attached to the West Side Market the cafe has easy access to some of the freshest, most flavorable and diverse food in this part of the country. Now I have seen some great food turned mediocre by an inept kitchen. Fortunately the chef (and he is certainly a "chef" not not not a short order cook) has mastered the art of creating great dishes out of great food. The breakfast menu is not two eggs over easy bacon and toast. They have three or four variations on eggs benedict. The hash is made with andouille sausage and the pancakes are served with real maple syrup. The hash browns have bits of onion and green and red pepper. Unbelievably good. Lunch and dinner includes perfectly created dishes from the best ingredients at the market. This is food you expect to find at a fine dining establishment and food that fits perfectly at a casual diner. In other words there is something for everyone. The owners are everywhere. Every customer is treated like a long time regular whether it is your first visit or if you have been sitting in the same seat since the day they opened. The service is quick and efficient even on a busy day and your coffee cup is like the cornucopia, it stays filled all day.
