Banana Bean Cafe
Job Well Done!. This was by far the best brunch I've had since my days of living in New Orleans. Their Bacon Bloody Mary was just as good, no, even better than I had been told. It's more than a bloody mary, it's a small vegetable garden and Grey Goose Vodka. Dishes are well structured, layered with flavor and seasonings. Great atmosphere, excellent service (I think his name was Greg, sorry if that's wrong because he took such great care of us!) but above all else, outstanding dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant to those wanting something other than the usual, standard dishes we tend to find in this area. Job well done Banana Bean, we look forward to spending our Saturdays with you. ps. I was told they have a patio, something else to look forward to!…
Horrible, Horrible and oh wait, Horrible!. I ordered the Pomegranate Lemonade drink, which was basically all syrup. After asking the server to water it down, she brought me more lemonade mix, which of course has sugar. So, I asked her for seltzer, and she took the drink to mix it with the seltzer, brought it back and it tasted just as syrupy as when it was first served. I still had to pay for it, even though I never sipped more than that first horrible sip. We ordered variations of poached egg and crab cake breakfasts, which was possibly one of the worst meals ever. It was akin to eating salt from a bowl, albeit it looked prettier. The food was plated nicely, maybe to mask the horrible flavor underneath. It was almost as if they had an accident in the kitchen, such as a bucket of salt falling onto our plates, and no one bothered to fix it. After asking for some ketchup and hot sauce, to try to alter the flavor a little, we ended up waiting over 15 minutes to continue with the meal. One of our group ordered french toast, and when brought, the server accidentally spilled syrup all over me. After a brief apology, I then had to ask for more silverware and napkins. To top it all off, we paid near $60 for 4 people to eat a horrible breakfast. In conclusion, do not waste your time, money or energy on this place. Steer clear!…
