Violet Rooster — Restaurant in Chino Hills

Let me start with the service is awful!!! If you are hungry and thinking you’ll be served quickly; well that’s not gonna happen! At least that didn’t happen to us...so when my food arrived and it was COLD, it made sense because obviously if my server didn’t pick it up, it got cold! So I tell our server about my cold food and her question to me was:, “Well, is it all cold?’ Would it matter? Don’t you order a meal that you can eat all together? And shouldn’t it be hot? Shouldn’t the response be, ‘sorry-let me fix that!” Btw- this grand cold meal was egg whites and turkey sausage....not that hard!!! I was served my toast, which I ate with my fruit until a new plate arrived....when the new plate arrived, eggs were hot but sausage was luke warm...I was starving so I just ate it! So while we were waiting, the table next us was accidentally served an additional drink...the server literally asked the man after she realized she served him a drink he didn’t order, “ Did you drink any of this?” He said -no. She grabbed the drink and I will presume, served it to the person that ordered it...Ummm...is that legal? That same couple waited so long for their food, they just asked for it to go. So I ordered the ‘skinny redneck’ and my husband ordered huevos Montana and w/ 2 coffees ended up being a total of almost $40- Yes, for cold food! Egg whites!!! I will say that the coffee was hot and tasty, but that was being served by other staff; not our server....throughout our time there I saw people repeatedly getting up to ask for things like water, ice etc...service is horrible. I’m giving it 2 stars for the coffee and the other staff, but thinking even that might be to generous! Btw- also heard our server tell a couple, “yeah, its a little slower on Fridays because it’s busy’...really?...then make sure ur prepared right? I’d like to say I’d give it another go because the pancakes did look yummy but that’s certainly a...

Came here for brunch this morning and saw that they were pretty busy via their Yelp waitlist system. But went ahead and put ourselves onto the list before we left the house with 20 parties ahead of us. Squeeze In is located in the new plaza of Soquel Canyon next to Nektar and Starbucks as well as other places like 7 Leaves across the street.

There was ample parking (albeit the closer ones were all full) and we saw plenty of people already dining in and some waiting outside. We checked in with the hostess and only waited about 5-7 minutes before a table was ready for us (they were busy, but table turnaround was definitely fast).

I ordered a shi's super food scramble that was an egg white vegetable scramble filled with tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, red bell peppers and zucchini with a side of fruits (pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries and orange slice). I also ordered a half order of their spuds (in case I wasn't full) while the bf ordered their Epic Eric breakfast burrito with a side of spuds as well. The wait was kind of long for the food to come, but I ended up passing time on my phone.

I definitely appreciated that the scramble was very healthy, but it lacked a lot of flavor and could use a little bit of salt. The dish was very bland because the vegetables wasn't seasoned with anything it seems. Usually other places will use onions so that when it cooks, it gets caramelized and adds a nice sweet savoriness to the scramble/omelette. The spuds side dish, didn't really help in flavor either, it also lacked a lot of flavor and the salt wasn't consistent-- Some were salty, some were plain.

Our waitress and the waiter that served us was very friendly and attentive, made sure we got all our food and checked up on us enough that it wasn't annoying. The food overall is eatable, just need some work on...

It was such an unfortunate experience. To start, we arrived and were seated quickly which was the highlight of our entire breakfast.

Once seated, we waited for what seemed like quite a bit of time just for drinks. Could have been about 15 minutes.

From that point, we ordered and it was downhill from here. We were absolutely ignored the entire time we were there, I got the waiters attention after we sat with empty water and a first round of drinks for almost the entire meal. He saw us and even walked over and before getting to the table, put his finger up as if for us to hold on, left for about 10 more minutes to assist other tables and eventually sent a different server to us.

I am not exaggerating, we counted 3 different times he walked up to about 2 feet from our table, made a face like he forgot something and as we looked up to speak with him, he would turn away and assist other seated guests.

The service was so bad that at the end of the meal, he came over and just put the check on the table and walked away without saying a word.

The only time he spoke to us besides ordering our food was when he said he could close our tab at the table.

We had the idea to ask him directly before leaving if there was an issue with our table that we werent aware of but ultimately thought that the service spoke volumes and it was beyond any conversation at that point. We politely just closed out our tab and left.

This was our first AND last time at this location. Food was actually good and its so unfortunate that our poor service...
