I really want to rate this place higher, because it has so much potential. It's possible I'll go back and re-rate it, because there was a lot to love.
We found parking easily, just across the street. The hostess was super sweet and I loved the vibe as soon as I walked in. The decor was cute, with bright pops of color. I wanted to take pictures right away! I was quoted at a 30 minute wait, so my partner and I checked out the cute game area, which had billiards, cornhole, connect four, and Uno. Everything was in use and it was a gorgeous day, so we took a walk outside as we waited. Once we were seated, we noticed that our table didn't have a QR menu card, and the hostess hadn't left a menu. We used a QR code on a neighboring table.
It was noisy there, which I didn't mind except when the waitress came to take our order. She was really soft-spoken and it was hard to hear her. No problem. She took our drink order and brought my partner's iced cold brew and our waters in plastic cups with lids. I then noticed single-use plastic on every table. Yikes!!
After we placed our order, we waited. A lot. We had to rotate our table because the sun was in my eyes. We waited for 45 minutes and the waitress never came by to check on us until our food came out.
The plates seemed sort of cheap, kind of like a backyard barbecue kinda plastic. I was glad they were reusable, at least. The food was hot. The waitress walked away after putting our plates down and didn't come back until we were done eating and it was time to pay.
As for the food, it was fine but not great. I got a breakfast sandwich, which was a heavily buttered bagel topped with heavily buttered scrambled eggs, a slice of American cheese, and crispy bacon had been thrown on top somewhat carelessly. I got a fruit cup instead of the potatoes and they tasted like the inside of a refrigerator, if that makes sense? Like they had absorbed refrigerator smell. The sandwich reminded me of a McDonald's breakfast bagel without the sauce, but I wished that the waitress had brought even one extra paper napkin for me to dab some of the butter off the outside of the bagel.
My partner's eggs were in a puddle that we assumed was butter. There was no salt shaker on the table, and the top of the pepper shaker looked oily and dusty so we didn't touch it. He said that the waffle was hot, but it was really just waffle-shaped bread; very thick and cakey. He was hoping for airy and crispy. Of course, it's all personal preference, so if you love a thick, soft, dense Belgian waffle, you may love this place.
My partner also ordered a side of potatoes because he'd read a few reviews raving about them. He said they were decent, but not amazing.
The service, wait, plastic, and butter combined with the higher price tag keep me from giving this place rave reviews. Maybe it was an off day?
