We CAN WAIT to go back!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/9/11
We wanted to try a breakfast specialty house and Eggspectations, which we know from Montreal, was our choice. We had trouble from when we enetered. Upstairs was an empty spot for 4, but the hostess told us that the second floor was full. I had to insist to get our party of 4 up to the second floor where there was plenty of space. We aslo waited a good 5 minutes before the hostess reappeared.
The waitress was upbeat, helpfull and friendly. The atmosphere is what it is (a very loud background noise) and that's OK as we knew ahead of time. For those who don't want noise, this isn't your spot.
They have a very large menu with a large selection. I chose an expresso and "What's Up?" (2 eggs (I took them poached), corn beef hash (sopposed ot be corn beef, potatoes, onions & spices), whole wheat toast, Chef's choice of fruits.)
What I eneded up with was 2 poached eggs on toast (which were fresh and well cooked (not greasy)), tons of sliced fried potatoes, corned beef (mixed with nothing) pasted to the middle of my plate (blahhh), a small pieces of honeydew & a 1" by 1" slice of orange, toast half the size of regular toast, 1/2 of one ring of onion!!! and an expresso that was anything but an expresso; morelike a little bit of strong coffee.with a hint of vanilla.
I won't describe the other plates but to tell that my companions were not impressed.
For $71+ (including tip), this is not a deal and this is junk food that one can find in any corner greasy spoon.
We won't be back anytime soon.
