This used to be one of the best spots in NE for a leisurely breakfast. The new owners, however, have turned it into some kind of Purgatory, where you wait forever to be seated, wait to get menus, and sit hopefully while waiters meander past and don't take your order. The waiters are nice enough, but they all behave as if they've been smoking the green stuff behind the building on their break.
You figure the waitstaff are hopeless, but that once your order has been taken, the cooks will take over and all will be well. Then you wait. And wait. 35 minutes later, the food begins to arrive. Most of it is cold, and it never arrives all at once. By the time the (lukewarm) sausage arrives, you have finished eating your eggs. The toast is triumphantly placed on your table after the entire meal has been eaten, and yes, it too is cold. After a long wait and some gentle prodding, the check finally appears and you can't read the total.
There are no apologies for the atrocious wait times, no comped coffee for their mistakes, and no interest at all as to whether or not you enjoyed your meal.
It is a culinary disaster of Biblical proportions. Unless, of course, eating in Purgatory is your thing. If so, well, enjoy the wait.
