Had the WORST experience here this morning. We've been coming to Salmon Creek for brunch for a while now. We've brought family and recommended this place countless times. Afrer today we won't be back and we will never recommend again.

We went for brunch knowing very well the day and time of day we went. We loved this place this much we were ready to wait for a table. We order steak and eggs and biscuits and gravy. The steaks were ordered med and were served medium well and well done making them extremely chewey and they lacked any kind of flavor. We picked at the food and tried to eat was served to us. We didn't complain due to the busyness and sense of overwhelm by the wait staff and honestly, we didn't want to wait for new steaks to be made. At the end of the meal the waitress came to clear the table and asked how the meal was. We were honest in expressing our feelings about the food and half way through telling the waitress our experience she told us to get out and leave. We advised her we weren't looking for a free meal and we're willing to pay our tab we were merely answering her " how was your meal" question. She rudley walked away and again said to "get out".

After talking to her again at the counter and trying to inform her that we would like to pay the bill and we were just answering her question, she again asked me to leave.

Good luck if you decide to go here. The food USED...

I had the biscuits and gravy that was obviously on large square homemade biscuits covered in sausage gravy with a touch of jalapenos in the sauce that made its subtle spicing perfection. I ordered eggs over-medium and they actually were over-medium, not easy. The food is exceptional and I relaxed with my endless cup of coffee in a ceramic cup; not paper as I studied the ingredients and spices in the gravy.

If only I could have stayed in a coffee coma ...

... realized the television being turned on, it's now 1/2 packed. The jabber of the incoherent noise coming from the television over the great mood music destroyed the ambiance and casual chill. I wasn't alone anymore, I can hear a laugh, the clatter of dishes, a conversation and a toddler staring mesmerized at the television over the bar.

I have mixed feelings even posting this review as I want it to stay my secret. Also, it's so wonderful to arrive just as they open and have it all to myself, at...
