The photos and reviews online definitely drew me to this spot for brunch!
I have been exploring the city, and invited another out of town friend to enjoy a great breakfast meal with me.
We joined the waitlist easily and didn't have to wait too long - but did get stuck in the doorway waiting.
The host looked defeated and essentially just grabbed menus as it was out turn in line before I told him we actually had a reservation - so then he double checked
Unfortunately, the experience was memorable, and not in the best way after being seated.
It was quite a busy day and I am sure the restaurant is a bit understaffed like everywhere else.
We were right behind the welcome podium, and thus a part of all the action.
I asked for coffee and never received the creamer with it. Apparently creamer is meant to be on the tables and I had to steal it from the guests next to us after waiting so long my coffee was cold.
We both ordered the green juice and different omelets.
I had to say, the green juice was delicious and my favorite part of the whole experience.
Neither of us were able to eat our omelets - we both picked at the cold, thick eggs. They were fairly tasteless and the texture was not welcoming.
Mine was supposed to come with pico de gallo and I had to ask for that too.
At one point our server was standing next to our table, yelling over our heads about an incoming party.
I do have to note that the same server brought us entirely new juices when we asked for to-go cups - definitely a kind afterthought.
The most confusing part was trying to pay. We were not notified to pay at the counter and sat waiting.
Finally we noticed others doing so, but the incoming guests were mixing with the paying guests creating a confusing clump of patrons. read more
