Breakfast here sucks. Small portions. Potatoes were dry and stale. Almost like they were re heated a gazillion times. Pancakes were bland. Salmon on my Salmon/Brie omelette was not the freshest. Ironic being that this place is on the beach. The grapefruit juice tasted really watered down. One waitress there was really bitchy, probably rag day. The first waitress we talked to said she had a booth available for immediate seating, so I went outside to call the rest of my party (2 ppl). When I walked back in, the bitchy waitress said there was a 5 minute wait to clean up the only available booth to seat 3. We ended up waiting about 10 mins before someone even walked out to clean the booth. The sweet waitress who first offered to sit us immediately eventually walked up to me looking confused as to why we were still just standing at the hostess station. Anywhoo, aparently the one corner table that seated four was reserved. In fact it was reserved while we eventually sat and ordered our food, while we waited for service, and then it was still reserved as we paid and were leaving. The menu and pictures looked promising. We only ended up here cuz the wait at Cafe Crema was 30 mins. I think next time we'll tough it out at Cafe Crema. There is a reason that this place is 2 doors down with no line to a place that has a 30 min wait. I have a feeling they stay alive with the overflow of people who don't want to wait 30 mins at the good cafe. I also have a feeling they found us too ethnic for the establishment.



PS. Coffee was good, but we had to keep hailing someone down to get refills for the 2 in our party who ordered coffee. No one ever checked on us.
