Unfortunately, I left unimpressed. I was really wanting this place to be good, but I think it can be. It just wasn’t there yet.

First, the good. The atmosphere was great. Beautiful interior, spacious and pleasant. The complimentary cream puffs with mixed berry jam were really good and a unique offering compared to other restaurants. The potatoes that came with my meal (Garlic and Herb Omelette) were perfectly cooked with lots of crispy edges, though they were slightly under-seasoned.

Now the not-so-good. The omelette itself was very under-seasoned. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but it was just a plain egg omelette with a small drizzle of the herb and garlic sauce. Not enough to really flavor the meal. I expected more of that taste throughout the main part of my entree.

I had ordered my omelette with the chicken sausage (listed right under the item on the menu) which I expected it to be cut up and inside the omelette, but I instead received 3 chicken sausages on the side. Perhaps it was a server error in entering the item into their ordering system, so I’ll them a pass on that.

Our server started out fine, but then we noticed them standing around and talking with fellow staff as we neared the end of our meal when we had asked for a to-go box and our check. So service could have been better.

Other thoughts:

1. Warm up the syrup (and/or butter). The butter for the pancakes was ice cold and hardly melted on the pancakes, and warm syrup would have at least made the pancakes warmer when eating.
2. a friend got the Chicken and Waffles, and we thinly the syrup should be served on the side. The chicken was crispy but got too soggy while eating because of the pre-drizzled syrup.
3. if there was one thing we all agreed on it was season the food more.

I want to this place succeed, and I hope that they do, I just think it’s not quite there yet.
