First off, the service is friendly enough, and the place is charming. We sat ourselves and were greeted within 3 minutes. After we ordered, we were promptly brought a variety of hot sauces for our meal. That was a nice touch.
The only down side to the service, wasn't exactly the servers themselves but the lack of coffee spoons for coffee. What am I supposed to stir my coffee with? My finger? Also, our cutlery kept slipping into the plate - there are some cutlery that have lips at the end of the handle so it doesn't do that, or maybe a different type of plate. But it was annoying to have to keep wiping hollandaise sauce off our knife handle.
We both ordered benedicts. I had the TAB (tomato, avocado salsa, and bacon) Benny. The eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, nice and runny. I like the addition of the avocado salsa, which cut through the creaminess of the hollandaise sauce with a bit of tartness. The bacon was nice and crispy despite being smothered in sauce. You will notice in the picture that they're not served on English muffins but on bread, which is nice because it gives you more starch to work with and soak up the sauce.
B had the pull pork Benny, recommended by the server who had it for breakfast. I think it's a great sign for a restaurant when the employees are also willing to eat there - I certainly never did at the restaurants I used to work at - except Crave (I miss your omelets, Wayne).
The pulled pork Benny was well done. The sauce was smoky, sweet and tangy, but not too sweet. Some places, like Joe's, often have overwhelmingly sweet sauces for their pulled pork bennies, but this was perfectly balanced. The pork was nice and tender. It was a good recommendation.
Urbanspoon users were right, this is a great spot for breakfast. We will definitely recommend and return.
Now, we just need to try out the place on a Friday night and see what the bar atmosphere is like.
