We went in for breakfast today and were fairly shocked by the results: a 50 minute wait (after ordering) for utterly lacklustre food that was quite over-priced. The enormous wait? Fine if you're waiting for food that is ultimately really good food. The over-priced cost? Fine if, again, the meal and overall experience warrants the price. \n\nBut the food itself was very sad. I ordered a bennie: stale rye bread, dry and non-tasty hashbrowns, none of the tasty fruit that used to accompany bennies in the former Loop. I'm sorry but it was one of the saddest breakfasts I've had in a while. My girlfriend ordered one of the omelettes and was similarly unhappy. Again, if you're serving unimpressive food, at least be fairly speedy and lower the prices! $14.50 for a pretty pathetic plate is a bad deal."^^ . "0"^^ .
