    The waitress was just ok. No personality! I didn’t really enjoy her at all.

    As always, this restaurant delivers on food, ambiance, service and cleanliness. I always get the Chicken and Waffles when my husband and I go and I am always pleased. I recommend this restaurant, especially if you are looking for a fantastic breakfast.

    Montreal was my server and she provided amazing recommendations. I had the smoked salmon Benedict along with a smoothie and grapefruit mimosa. Everything was so delicious I ordered lunch to-go.

    Server was very nice, but not very attentive. We were left with empty mugs of coffee at breakfast and then had to wait a while to get the for cream for it.

    Overall a good experience. We ordered 5 meals. Most were good but one the eggs were overdone and bacon underdone. Portion size is good.

    First time visiting. Menu was overwhelming with choices. French toast was good, thick, soft with crispy edges.

    Disclaimer: I've previously visited Eggspectation for brunch twice with good experiences. For Valentine's Day, I booked the $40 experience, which included 3 cocktails. Upon arrival, we were informed there were 8 parties ahead of us, and we waited over 30 minutes for a table. When seated, we mentioned our Valentine’s Day experience reservation, and the server told us management had limited us to 2 drinks to prevent guests from becoming drunk. The first drink was a mimosa (no substitutions), and the second drink was from a very limited cocktail list. We opted for the Date Night menu instead. I originally ordered crab cakes and mashed potatoes, but the server returned to say they were out of both. I chose shrimp and grits instead. They also informed us they were out of most cheesecake flavors, leaving only 3 options. We ordered grilled shrimp tacos as an appetizer, which were good, but my partner’s Cajun pasta was disappointing. My shrimp and grits were tasty, but by dessert, there were only 2 options left, so we settled for plain cheesecake, which was basic without any topping. The restaurant seemed unprepared for such a busy day, and it would’ve been helpful to communicate the changes to those with reservations. The experience felt like false advertising, as the full offering wasn’t provided. The food also took a long time to arrive between courses. Overall, it was not a good experience.

    Plenty of dinner options for v-day but the quality of food was fair. Eggspectation has good brunch food but dinner, not so much. Food was plain, didn’t really have any flavor. Drinks were pretty plain too. I ordered the chicken parm, asked for no provolone, they literally put two slices of provolone on top and tried to melt it but it didn’t melt too well. Food presentation wasn’t good either. Had high eggspectations - pun intended lol I’ll stick with this place for brunch only.
