The food was mediocre and the service was terrible. We are frequent travelers to the city and hoped to just pop down here for a quick breakfast. What was supposed to be an in-and-out situation turned into an hour and a half saga with missed orders and just general frustration. My first assumption was that it was short staffed, but while I'd normally give the benefit of the doubt, I saw no fewer than nine people on the floor for what seemed like around 40 tables with many of them empty. We came at prime time for lunch, but it just seemed impossible for the experience to match up with the logistics that we observed -- especially for a breakfast that charges $8 for coffee.
We ordered an omelette and a salmon Benedict. When they finally arrived, it was just fine, though the eggs for the omelette were over cooked and the poached eggs on the Benedict clearly were rushed and not done well, with the egg already broken upon arrival. But the Benedict had to be sent back initially due to a messed up order, when we asked for no hollandaise sauce. The food took an hour to get out, and then after that, an additional 20 minutes to correct the order. The rest of the meal was fine, large portions, but it was just a really frustrating experience. Potatoes were hit and miss, with some undercooked and some fine.
What was worse about all this was we went through what seemed like three servers, and when the final check arrived an hour and a half after we arrived, with multiple messed up orders, nothing was comped. We took this to the next server who finally came back to let us know the meal would be comped, but we're stunned to get a check for $73 after that whole saga.
I understand that it might have been a rushed hour, but clearly something was off and while our final server worked hard to make sure they corrected the experience, it was just a complete whiff. I would recommend going to a different restaurant or even one of the smaller shops nearby.
