Good food but nothing special and not very large portions.
While the food was very good- I must say that the service, while courteous, was lacking. We arrived and were promptly seated at a comfortable table and given menus. From there the situation deteriorated. We were not asked for our drink order for 15 minutes, and then the order was wrong (easy mistake, was given iced tea instead of iced coffee), but then, while our waitress was walking back and forth with a coffee pot in her hand we were never addressed, so I could not remedy the mistake. I honestly don't normally look at my watch when waiting for food, however I happened to get a text right after we ordered so I know that the food took 45 minutes to get to our table. No waitress or manager ever came to the table to explain the delay or apologize. I finally had to hail someone and let them know that we had been waiting for 3 quarters of an hour. They were astounded and I have to say the food arrived within 5 minutes and was very good.
Was this just a bad day? Were they understaffed? I really don't know? I was never given an explanation of why the food took so long or why our waitress was so "busy" that she could not bother to give a refill on coffee.
I may try this place again, it is close to my house, and the food was good enough to warrant another go- and as I said, no one was rude- just seemed not so well-trained in hospitality? For the record, I am a chef and caterer- so I do give people a second chance.. I will give them another chance and hope that it was a bad day-and then I will amend my review- if not for the wait I would have given it 4 stars.
Sweetest lady at the counter. Just a darling. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I can’t wait to come here and actually sit down for breakfast.
