I
had
a
rather
disappointing
visit
to
this
brunch
restaurant
this
morning.
The
highlight
of
my
disappointment
was
the
so-called
'Hollandaise'
sauce
that
accompanied
my
Eggs
Benedict.
I
expressed
my
concern
to
the
waitress
about
how
it
neither
looked
nor
tasted
like
a
proper
Hollandaise
but
rather
resembled
a
Béchamel
sauce.
To
my
surprise,
she
brushed
off
my
complaint,
insisting
that
their
chef
knows
what's
in
it.
What
bothered
me
even
more
was
her
attempt
to
involve
another
customer,
who
conveniently
happened
to
be
a
chef,
sitting
nearby,
making
it
feel
like
an
unnecessary
spectacle.
I
requested
to
see
both
sauces,
and
it
was
evident
that
the
other
one
was
indeed
a
Béchamel,
while
the
one
they
presented
as
a
Hollandaise
was
far
from
it.
When
I
asked
the
neighboring
diner
if
he
noticed
the
difference,
he
simply
claimed
that
'every
restaurant
does
it
its
own
way.'
In
my
opinion,
there's
a
traditional
way
to
make
Hollandaise
with
three
main
ingredients,
and
flour
or
starch
isn't
one
of
them.
Furthermore,
there
was
a
problem
in
ordering
a
classical
Eggs
Benedict
as
it
was
not
on
the
menu
but
at
the
end
I
received
the
salmon
version
without
salmon,
with
bacon
on
the
side.
We
also
ordered
two
different
coffees,
one
medium
sweet
and
one
sweet,
but
they
tasted
identical,
both
sweet.
When
I
raised
my
concerns
about
the
sauce
to
the
waitress,
she
unconvincingly
explained
that
it
was
their
unique
take
on
Hollandaise,
less
sour
than
usual.
However,
I
would
have
appreciated
witnessing
the
chef's
preparation
to
understand
their
approach.
Regrettably,
I
didn't
voice
my
dissatisfaction
to
the
management,
as
the
waitress
appeared
to
hold
a
managerial
role
herself
and
was
unresponsive
to
my
concerns.
Overall,
my
experience
left
me
with
a
sense
of
frustration
and
disappointment,
especially
given
the
high
expectations
I
had
for
a
brunch
outing.
Did
I
have
a
wow
moment?
Sure
I
did,
but
it
was
not
on
the
food.
Do
I
recommend
this
for
brunch?
Definitely
not.
There
are
way
better
places
to
have
real
eggs
Benedict.
The
guys
serving
us
were
vey
friendly
and
very
polite
though.
