CAN'T EVEN COOK AN EGG - TERRIBLE FOOD!
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

09/04/2007 Posted by sjnorth

My boyfriend and I went here for brunch this weekend, and I had to send my food back and was so grossed out by what I had been served that I didn't order anything to replace it. From their brunch menu I ordered Eggs Benedict. The "hollandaise sauce" was not hollandaise. It was not creamy. It appeared to be chunks in some sort of greasy broth. When I inquired about this, with several different people there, they seemed to be unsurprised - as if this is what they thought eggs benedict should look like. Very hungry, and assured by them that the chunky sauce was safe, I cut into my eggs. Instead of the runny center of a poached egg, I was met with a yoke nearly firm enough to be the center of a hard-boiled egg. I sent the whole dish back and left. Disgusting. I would never eat there again.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The food and the service
