Listen, we love Clary's. First visited 16 years ago and have been back at least once every trip since. The food never fails to make us all happy, and 99.9% of the time, even if it's busy and we have to wait, we are treated with the utmost courtesy, everybody's friendly and down home, and we have a wonderful time.

So when we went there this past Sunday, we were completely caught off guard. There was a dark-haired woman we've never seen before at the hostess desk. She was nasty, short, got an attitude with my partner over our place in line, and made us feel completely unwelcome. I don't even remember how long the wait was, I just started looking up other places to go even if it was going to be the same amount of time because I was so disgusted. My partner reminded me that Clary's breakfast is still the best, the service is usually excellent, so we waited. And I'm glad he talked to me into it because I tried the veggie omelette, not quite as delicious as my favorite, the Greek omelette (which I had Saturday) but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great, the waitress was bubbly and friendly, the person who brought us our food was cheerful and friendly, so we decided to come back on Monday to try one more time before we headed back out of town. And it was the regular Clary's again, excellent experience, felt right at home.

So if you get to Clary's, and there is a woman with dark hair making you second guess your restaurant choice before you are even seated, ignore her, she is not representative of that place. And that's why I felt the need to write a review not quite a week later because it's been weighing on me. I don't want one of our favorite places to suffer because of one person. But, because of her, I can't give it five stars.
