I had some friends in from Los Angeles and gave them a choice of 3 places for breakfast and to my dismay they chose this place. I didn't say anything and off we went. What a difference from my first experience. I ordered the hangover thing which was delicious, especially now that I know that they call potatoes "hash" (really, what's wrong with calling them potatoes?). My friends split a sandwich, which looked very tasty. The man at the service counter was lovely. As a rule, I don't email or call the managers when I've had bad experience, even if they ask me to, but I do like to go back after a while to see if anything has changed. Usually I am disappointed with the second visit but not this time. I'm happy I and my friends had such a good experience this time around. I can definitely recommend this place. I hope they keep their standards up. I know it's hard to keep a property up when it's so close to the sea but it still seems a little run down to me. There were several dishes left at the next table which brought the birds around, which was a little annoying, especially when a few staff walked passed the table on several occasions without picking them up, but it is off season and maybe that's the only help they could get.

In keeping with my NY's resolution to try new places, I convinced my friend Amy to come here for breakfast. She was a little hesitant, thinking it would be just another beach Tourist place, but she agreed after I reasoned "It's just Breakfast - how can they get that wrong?" I found out. To start with, neither the woman at the bar where we checked in for seating, nor the man at the counter where we had to order breakfast, seemed like they wanted to be there. I assumed they were the children of the owners forced to work there when they obviously wanted to be back in bed. We started with coffee, which I thought was terrible, but I didn't say anything until my friend Amy mentioned that her ice coffee was awful. What a relief it wasn't just me. But it was only a sign of things to come. I ordered the breakfast scramble, which I reasoned, would be a typical breakfast scramble with everything in a bowl. It included Lucky Fish Hash, which I also thought would be some kind of corned beef hash. I was wrong on both counts. It's scrambled eggs and potatoes on the side - potatoes is their hash, which the waiter assured me, was what it is called in Florida, or at least Pompano, or maybe just at the Lucky Fish. I hate plain scrambled eggs, even with a piece of cheese melted on top. So back it went. I then was told that the Hangover Scrambled was more like I thought the breakfast scramble would be. Everything in a bowl. Seasoned shaved beef - close enough, I thought. It was like the thin beef slices I once tried from Publix frozen food section, only chopped to smithereens. But equally disgusting. The fried egg was overcooked. The cheese sauce was more like cheese flavored water, but luckily, as I had been advised that it came with Lucky Hash, I had potatoes to eat - if a bit watery. I also ordered a $7 glass of OJ, so that I had at least something I could consume for breakfast. Money well spent. Amy's breakfast sandwich looked very good, served between 2 huge planks of challah bread. Not that I'm coming back to try it. It's on the pier, so they don't need my business. Outdoor seating by the beach, but the woodwork needs a bit of TLC and frankly the place looked a bit dirty. So now that we've tried "something new", I can cross it off the list. Especially since The Beachhouse and Oceanic are right next door. That's worth the drive.
