This popular, new DT nook reminds me of a trendy NYC brunch hangout. It's not so much the food or the decor that causes me to reminisce, it's the fact that this place has limited seating, excess patrons, and folks will wait a long time for a table even though there are other good restaurants within walking distance.
If you're dining alone, you can plant yourself at the counter almost immediately. If you're with a group. The wait can be as long as 45 mins, and unlike Hash-House-a-Go-Go, which also always has a long wait, they don't have a pager to give you and you can't just sashay up to the bar while you wait for a table.
I will tell you, these guys really care about their customers. When I received my Downtown Benedict (one of their signature dishes) I found that the poached eggs were hard boiled. I didn't even complain, but the manager noticed a look of disappoint on my face and rushed in and had the dish re-fired.
The Benedict was not bad. I picked up a slightly off-putting vinegar flavor from it. There was probably too much vinegar in the poaching liquor. The side of skillet-grilled potatoes was pretty good (fresh not frozen). Hollandaise sauce had a smooth, creamy texture. All ingredients tasted fresh, and the plating and presentation was, as I like to say, "pretty."
I would recommend Eat. It may not blow you away, but it's a decent breakfast haven. Just be aware of the wait and the noise.
