As the lady has now become part of the work force of Cape Cod, breakfasting will no longer be possible on Mondays, as such, Sunday was chosen for this week’s outing, and we had the pleasure of the company of our significant others.
1. Initial impression of convenience, parking, and location.
- Off-broadway, er, off a main street. Feel comfortable locating a spot as no other cars are hurrying you down the road at 40 mph.
- The restaurant is in the same plaza as the local post office and some surrounding businesses I couldn't identify if I was standing in front of them.
- Nothing is ever so busy there aren't available spots.
2. Wait time to be greeted, seated, and first impressions of staff.
- There was a wait to be seated of around fifteen minutes, which was better than the wait of forty we faced at our other choice, the Keltic Kitchen.
- The staff was friendly, and all smiles.
3. Type of seating, comfort, wait time for server introduction.
- Small selection of booths, a small counter, and a few tables and chairs. Possibly seats 55.
- It was uncomfortably warm in the dining area.
4. Variety of menu options (too many/too little)
- Opening the menu, you are at first confused by all of the different shapes and colours separating the different offerings.
- There were three pages of breakfast items, which always makes choosing all the more difficult.
5. Menu highlights of uncommon items.
- Homemade grilled breads
- Mia’s PB Cup Bagel
- The option to bring home a loaf of homemade bread for $6.99
6. Speed of food delivery, and first impressions of plating, initial aroma.
- Tough to describe the speed of delivery as items came at different times. Main dishes were served in good time but needed additions eg. butter, syrup, refills, all arrived one item at a time.
- Plates were filled appropriately.
- Aroma
7. TASTE!
- Coffee. Yep.
- The gentleman's meal was good. He attempted hash for possibly the first time in our treks. It was alright. It would be ordered it again. Pardon us as the palates adjectives are out of reach. The treat here is the special grilled breads. The gent regularly replaces typical toast with the grilled bread here whenever possible. Comparable to cinnamon rolls but with added texture through nuts and flavor through fruits or added sugars. One could even order the grilled bread fashioned like french toast. I’ll get you next time Gadget!
- The gentleman’s fiancée had food. It was her requests that were said in real time but was heard by our waitress some time later.
- The lady was feeling overwhelmed by starch from too much pizza as of late, and therefore went with the lighter side. Choosing a garden omelette sans bread and home-fries, and with cheddar cheese and not American cheese (or plastic cheese slices for the folks back home!). Although she did not have two of the free options of this meal (bread and potatoes) she did ask for salsa, which she was charged for. Sure! Keep the cost of the meal the same without two parts of it, and charge extra for salsa. The omelette was decent. It was a typical veggie omelette, and the salsa added to it greatly, although the salsa had no heat.
- The lady’s husband exists.
8. Value of product.
- Prices were reasonable, and the overall cost was right for the food they served us.
- Coffee $1.99
- Side of bacon $3.50
- 2 eggs and meat $7.99
- Muffins - the picture I took has a flash on the muffin cost. It looks like it ends with a ‘0’, but I doubt they are free.
9. Payment options.
- Cash only, boo, however, they do have an ATM.
