Service (17/20) or 85%
- Hostess(4/5 points)
She didn’t seat me—I chose to sit right at the bar—but what she did do was deter two obviously crazy people from pestering the patrons. One of the crazy people was an approximately sixty year old woman that stood next to me looking at my meal asking “That looks nice, what is it?” Creepy, really creepy.
- Promptness(4/5 points)
It wasn’t a busy point of the day but the food did come incredibly fast. I think I was half way through my first cup of coffee when my food was delivered. Everything else was just as I would expect otherwise.
- Alertness(4/5 points)
Every time my beer, coffee, or water got to the half way mark I was asked if I wanted more. This was carried out for all of the patrons that I observed.
- Friendliness(5/5 points)
It was slow and every one I spoke with that worked there were quite friendly. I can easily see why people come back to this place again and again. This was bumped up to a 5 by the combination of the waitstaff and the hostess’ handling of the two clearly crazy people that walked in while I was there dining.
Food and Drink (16/20) or 80%
- Price(3/5 points)
I feel like I got exactly what I paid for here.
- Quality of Food(5/5 points)
I think the omelette might have been the best I’ve ever had. The eggs were fluffy. The ham was of the highest quality. The cheese was melted just right. The greens balanced it all out perfectly so it wasn’t too greasy as most omelettes tend to be.
- Quality of Beverage(4/5 points)
The coffee was excellent, but what bumped this up to a 4 was the beer I had. They keep mainly local micro-brews on tap and I got the chance to try a rye based beer which was surprisingly good, not too hoppy, but not too sweet either. It really complimented the omelette well.
- Presentation(4/5 points)
The omelette was presented on a lovely white modern dish with far more than enough space for you to move around your food as needed. The extra garnish and decoration to the omelette is what bumped this one up to a 4.
Decor and Space (16/20) or 80%
- Cleanliness(4/5 points)
Everything that was served to me was quite clean and I was particularly impressed with the shine on the dish my omelette was served. The bar itself was also quite clean.
- Theme(4/5 points)
It’s clearly got a very new restaurant feel but with hints of vintage that welcome you. It’s comfortable and inviting. I think the door signs, the sign behind the bar, and the high windows in the back room are what stand out in my mind the most.
- Adequate Seating(5/5 points)
The seating is divided into two main sections: a small room with a large bar and the much larger formal seating area in the back. I sat at the bar where most of the other patrons at that time were sitting, but there were far more than enough tables for people to sit in should they choose to do so. I don’t think any one could ever be cramped in a place like this.
- Location(3/5 points)
You can get to this restaurant from several trains with the closest probably being the C. I’d say it’s about the right distance from most of the stations but a bit of a walk from others.
Bonus(2/5 points)
One point was awarded for the fact that they make their own hot sauce in house, which is quite tasty, but not too hot. One point was also awarded because my cousin-in-law works there so I know it’s cool.
Overall score: 49/60, with bonus 51/60, or 85%
