OUI Pancake N' EGGS — Restaurant in Temecula

With so many breakfast options in town, I will not be back. I walked into an empty restaurant hopeful that, since I was the first one, I would be greeted and walked to a table. Instead, I was shouted at and told to sit at a table the employee pointed to from across the restaurant.

I thought little of that and did not see it for what it was: a harbinger of what terrible service was waiting for me.

I sat down and found the menu stacked on the table, as all the others were. Although I arrived at the opening, the table was still sticky and did not appear clean.

The wait staff came to the table and asked what I wanted. I said I had never been here and needed a few moments with the menu but would like water. That took so long, when she returned with the water I was ready to order. She dropped off the water and in futility I tried to tell her I was ready to order. She made eye contact with me, held up a finger in silence, and walked away.

Eventually, she came back to take the order. More people began filing in the place, and I heard the order of the table behind me. My water had run dry, and every attempt to flag an employee for more water was unsuccessful.

Thankfully I heard the order of the table behind me, because when she came back (no water) she tried to give me the food from the other table. I told her what I ordered and said that food goes to the table behind me. I threw in that I could use some water, "Oh" was the only response.

After continued waiting, my waffle combo arrived. I thanked her and asked for more water in vain.

As I tasted the waffle, I needed water like a camel traversing the Sahara. The waffle tasted like it came from a $1 "just-add-water" mix, similar to a cheap hotel self-make waffle bar. The eggs were just as bad; tasted like a premix egg liquid that was mass-cooked. I had camp food that was better.

Finally, my pleas for water were heard; Neptune must have looked favorably upon my plight. I could not finish the meal and left disappointed.

I realized I did this to myself. In my desire to try new things, I was given a truly awful dining experience. If this is a representation of breakfast, one might be tempted to forever skip the meal. Thankfully, there are many other and better breakfast options.

Also, the prices are extremely high for the quality and portions. I will not be back to this place and encourage you...

My family & I were so excited to try a new breakfast restaurant. Sadly, although there were only 4 other tables of people eating, and plenty of staff today (Saturday at 11am), our food took forever to come out after our daughter was first served just her bacon, very undercooked, then about 10 minutes later her breakfast potatoes arrived, 5 minutes later her pancakes, then my avocado toast, & finally, 10 minutes after that, my husbands pancakes, bacon, sausage & eggs arrived. First of all, my husband’s eggs (ordered over medium) came out with clear runny egg whites, which he sent back, they recooked the same eggs & brought them back; the pancakes were really thick & gummy & we could hardly swallow them; the margarine served on the pancakes was so disgusting it’s not fit for human consumption; the bread used for my avocado toast was thin, completely dried out, and tasted like cheap generic wheat bread! also, it took forever to get anyone’s attention to ask for any utensils to eat our food with! In addition to this, they never even wipe their menus down, the sugar shaker was sticky and physically dirty, and the server never asked if he could get us anything else nor asked us how our food was. I’m sure the owner will tell me, as she has told all of the other reviewers, if we don’t like it, just don’t come back. No problem, there’s so many other very good places to get breakfast in Temecula like Original Pancake House & The Broken Yolk. No problem, be assured we shall...

My Husband, son and I ate here for the first time this morning around 11am. It was a bit busy but we got sat pretty quickly. Our drink order was taken then we waited for the server. About 10 minutes later the server showed up and took our food order. I ordered Teramisu Crepes, my husband ordered corned beef hash and my son got the pancake breakfast for kids.

The crepes were the worst I've ever had. They tasted like flour and were super thick instead of light and airy. The marscapone was super runny. They were not good at all.

My husband's corned beef hash looked like it came out of a can.

We never saw our server again so we couldn't even ask for something different.

The prices are way too high for what you get.

We will not be coming back.

I can not see where I can reply to the restaurants response to my review so I'm posting it here.

First off I have only ever had fresh crepes so I'm not sure why you're implying otherwise. Crepes are supposed to be thin and airy not think and gummy only tasting of flour.

Second you didn't address the service. Only having one server on the floor for the entire restaurant is unacceptable. The busses confirmed that there was only one server on the floor. We only saw our server once in our entire visit ans that was when he took our order.

No follow up to make sure everything was good or if anything else was needed.

We will not be a return customer and will be telling our local friends to not visit your...
