The Food

Huevos Rancheros - My husband always tries this dish at any new breakfast place we go. It's his barometer on whether the food is good. Like when we always try the Pad Thai at new Thai restaurants. He liked this version. The black beans were a little blah, but everything was topped with this really good medium spicy Chile Verde.

Pancake Combo - The pancakes needed to be a little crispier, cooked on a hotter grill. I asked for really soft, scrambled eggs. There's not a lot of places that get this right. This place was no exception. The combo doesn't come with hash browns, unusual. So I had to order a side. Likely will not try this dish next time.

Hashbrowns - Need to be crispier. My kid was not enthralled and she usually inhales hash browns.

The Atmosphere

It is noisy. The wood floors and panels walls do nothing to absorb any noise. Between that and the Black Sabbath they had playing, don't go there if you have a headache. But the combination does make you feel a few more years removed from middle age.

The servers all seem to be ski bums. The kind of folks who work the lifts during ski season. The clientele is young and trendy, either on their way up to or back down from the slopes.

Bottom Line

Breakfast was a little disappointing. We have been there for dinner and have always been impressed. The beer is always good, especially whatever is on special. I thought 10:30am was too early for beer, but regretted my decision when the next table ordered a pitcher half way through our meal.
