I was expecting “stellar” in terms of experience based on the reviews and I was kind of surprised by how (unfortunately) mid everything I tried was - especially with how much they charge. The run down:
1. I ordered a breakfast bowl, asked to swap the bacon for the flank steak. I don’t eat pork and was happy to find out that would be no problem. A few bites in, I realized I’ve had teeny bacon bites mixed into the potatoes hidden under the steak and eggs. They did correct it after I brought it to their attention and they brought me a new bowl but there was little acknowledgment about how problematic that was.
2. Before leaving I got two lattes and a chicken Caesar salad to go. While the chicken itself was well seasoned, the salad was extremely salty. And the oat milk lattes were totally underwhelming.
All for $80. And the music wasn’t even a vibe 😕
Pros: friendly and quick service, well run (with the exception of messing up my order); decor is lovely, and it’s super spacious with tons of seating. Their menu is really well done in terms of offerings. I would’ve tried a pastry but I wasn’t too eager, so maybe I missed out. Otherwise, it’s…fine 🤷🏽♀️
