Tuck Box (The), Carmel-by-The-Sea

I admit, we added the spot to our trip after watching an episode of Rachel Ray's $40 a Day program. We were dissapointed all around. We arrived at a good time (9:30) and were seated promptly. The big dissapointment here was the food. The cocoa was too sweet, the tea was wayyyyy too strong (and I'm no stranger to strong tea), the waffles tasted of baking soda, the scrambled eggs were runny. When the server asked about our food and we politely explained the waffles had an odd taste (we left the other things out), she just shrugged it off and didn't seem concerned at all. When you're paying $9 for two eggs with bread and bacon you expect a little more. We would have been better off at the hotel.
