In early November of 2017, November the 4th as documented in my photo gallery my partner and I decided to go off our normal breakfast joints to try a new place. Which Is usually a fun and delicious experience!
However considering on Facebook and Google they have 4-5 star reviews it would be proven to be a big let down.
That day we decided to try out The Eggexperience in Whitby, ON. It looked inviting and has once been a very fancy restaurant which had pretty good food but that’s besides the point.
Today was focused on breakfast! Looking at any menu can be very tantalizing and hard to decided from the many delicious items especially when it come to breakfast, and much like everyone with a phone I’ve taken pictures of everything.
Items ordered:
Partner:
•Tea
•King’s plate:
2 Eggs served with a mountain of fresh fruit, 3 small crepes wrapped with sausage and melted cheese.
Myself:
•Tea
•Banana chocolate waffle:
Waffle topped with banana & chocolate sauce
Omelette:
Spinach & cheddar served with home fries, toast and fruit
All items and contents are taken from the online menu.
Mine and my partner’s entire meal experience was just terrible. First off was the tea, their cup was dirty, and just looked like it wasn’t washed at all. I also ordered a tea and mine was very watery and even after trying to save it, I was very disappointed, how can you ruin tea? Thankfully my partner came to the rescue and allowed me some of their tea.
Then, when their plate came, was the fruit. On the plate, whilst rifling through and eating, we both chanced upon a very moldy blueberry. No one one saw this as they were making the plate?
Along with a moldy blueberry was an apple with it’s core still intact, most other establishments would’ve removed that, as it’s a choking hazard for pretty much anyone. Then the crepe, which tasted as though it was just full of processed cheese and was generally not very good…terrible actually! Plus the moldy fruit and apple core were a giant turn off.
The wait staff, which I think was just one waitress for the entire restaurant was just unenthused, slow and overall felt very uncaring as if she didn’t want to be there. When we asked for a new cup she seemed very uncaring about it but did as was asked. When we complained of the unappetizing fruit she seemed not very apologetic. She merely took the plate without really asking what we wanted in lieu of the returned dish.
It was fortunate that I had ordered an additional dish because of this, as my partner wouldn’t have been able to eat anything, again because the waitress was very slow and never did a round of “How’s your meal?”, or the usual jargon that a good waitress would do, busy or otherwise. Finishing our subpar meal without anymore hiccups I was still hoping the waitress, upon asking for our check, would’ve been more accommodating. Because she took so long my need to ask for a manager simply went over my head as I just wanted to leave.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and would give it a solid 1 ★ star as my waffle and omelette just barely saved our experience there.
