"I dined here yesterday morning, and I have to admit, the recent price increases may deter me from coming as often as I used to. Instead of dining in weekly, I’ll likely be visiting only once a month. Most items have gone up by about $2 just this year, and some of our go-to dishes have increased by more than $6 since we first started coming. The least expensive option is the build-your-own omelette, which starts at $13 for just the eggs, with additional charges for veggies ($1.20 each), cheese ($2.25), and meats ($3), making it effectively a $20 omelette and up. For $15, you can get French toast alone, with the option to add blueberries or bananas for an extra $2 each. Overall, it seems that dishes now start at around $20 per person.
I understand the impact of the current economy, but it’s frustrating to see smaller portions coupled with higher prices. The portion sizes that used to be decent and well-presented have diminished. It’s possible that different cooks are contributing to the inconsistency in portion sizes, but the original chef needs to be present because the flavors in each dish remain impressive.
In conclusion, I want to emphasize that the food is still flavorful and deserves a five-star rating. However, the significant price hikes and noticeable reduction in portion sizes for regular customers are concerning."
