An early December 29th morning found my son and I looking forward to Eggs Benny in some West Van eatery. 'Inquiry provided that 'Cindy's' down the road did as much and so, off we went. The restaurant is small, casual and comfortable with daily papers available for reading and pleasant service on offer - so far so good!

Inference was made that we were perhaps not long-on-time as I signaled - before sitting down - that we both wanted Eggs Benny. At this point there was only one other customer in the establishment. After some period of time another couple entered the restaurant and the measure of our inordinately long wait for our food is that they recieved theirs just after we recieved ours....so really slow service! One wonders how long it would have taken had there been more than five patrons - including us - in attendance?

But I have no problem if the wait is made to be worth it....alas, it was not.

Hollandaise should be plate wiping good but in the instance, it had no-taste. It was in fact almost 'watery' while the English Muffins were tough with one of two burnt. Seeing the small handfull of Hashbrowns on our plates I ordered a side-order of toast each for my son and I.

This all would have been somewhat OK - as the service was friendly, albeit slow - but the Bill presented drove home the fact that this would be our last foray here. The tasteless Eggs Benny was $14.95ea but the kicker was $4.95 ea for two buttered pieces of toast so, with tip and NO drinks - $50 for a very forgettable breakfast experience.........how does one make Hollandaise tasteless?
