1410 Breakfast Review

I am always trying to find new breakfast places to eat, especially since the last few outings have been to Red’s and Overeasy.  A couple of people have told me about 1410’s great food and relaxed atmosphere.

My experience with breakfast places is that NO matter what time you go it WILL always be busy.  Taking that into consideration we decided to meet at 10am sharp so that we would beat any rush.  I was about 10mins late and expected the place to be jam packed.  To my complete surprise there was maybe 4 tables occupied when I got there.  Lucky for our server because I don’t think she could handle more then the 2 tables she had!  When we were ready to order we were informed that they couldn’t make toast as their toaster was broken – WTF!  How can you not have toast?!  It’s like going to a coffee shop with a broken coffee machine!  My thoughts: why don’t you use the oven?  In addition to no toast they don’t have hot chocolate or chocolate milk.

Kelsi ordered the Mixed Cheese Omelette.  She found the feta overwhelming as there was way too much feta in the cheese mixture, “One would think that they’d used more cheddar and mozzarella then feta…”  Her omelette was good once she took out feta and she would come here again.  (Please note that Kelsi is one of the pickiest eater I know! )  It looks like we had toast but it’s just bread.

Jocelyn’s breakfast choice is always eggs benedict which is good as she’s my controlled breakfast tester.  The Traditional Eggs Benedict is “comparable to Phil’s, not as good as Galaxy’s or Red’s but the potatoes were very good!”.  What Jocelyn didn’t like was that there was no bacon option – this means nothing to me as I don’t eat bacon, but she made it very clear that I comment that for other bacon lovers.  Jocelyn won’t make the trek to 1410 when she can go to other breakfast places relatively close but would come down for the patio.

I had the Spring Omelette with Hollandaise Sauce.  It was pretty good.  I’m hung up about the toast thing and think that it would have been delicious has there been toast.

 

At this point I’m not impressed with 1410’s breakfast food or service but I will go back because I had a great time with my friends and the other customers.  It is definitely a relaxed place with chill customers where you can easily mingle with each other.
