I was having breakfast with my 10 year old daughter a few weeks ago at Bertie Lou's. I have always had decent service and solid breakfast fare in the past. Breakfast is not hard to accomplish, but it is easy to ruin. I asked my wait person to bring me a side of gravy for my daughter to dip her toast in. They brought out a 2 oz. ramekin. ( I have worked in food service and know what they are.) The gravy is home made and quite good. When I was handed the bill, the 2 oz. of gravy was $1.95. I was really shocked. A 2 oz. portion should be a gift. If I am to pay a couple of dollars for gravy I would expect a small soup cup. I asked if this was normal and got a reply from the cook, and I quote, "" People come in here for that s**t all the time. No body ever f***ing complained about the portion before."" My 10 year old was right at the counter with me. I asked the cook to watch his language and was told to ""get the f**k out"". I will never go back again. And to the cook... If you see me coming toward you on the street some day, you would be doing yourself a favor to cross the street and not get too close. You are lucky my kid was with me. You are a foul mouthed little punk who does not know when to keep it shut. I hope your boss reads this and lets you join the growing mass of unemployed.
