"More tables less service. My wife and I decided to have a nice leisurely brunch this morning and Bon Ton 's was the place we chose. When we walked up to the front, every single outside table was taken (20+ tables), we figured the wait would be huge. But when we walked inside, they also had a similar amount of tables and there were some empty. We were told by the manager to sit wherever we liked and a server would be right there to greet us. This is where the service went downhill. It is obvious to anybody who has a smidgen of restaurant-sense that if you 're going to go through spikes of lots of business and little business, then you need to have a hostess. You also need to place potential parties on a wait if you don 't have enough servers to take care of all of the tables. It was clear that this restaurant did not have enough servers from the start. The bottom line is that if you are an impatient person, do not come here for Brunch, which this restaurant gets a majority of its business from. Perusing over the newspaper menu (similar to Black Bear Diner), you 'll see a fantastic selection of breakfast items. I asked the waitress to pick between the Eggs Florentine and the Salmon Benedict. She chose the salmon for me. My wife picked a breakfast sausage breakfast sandwich which came on a bagel. I picked a side portion of 2 pancakes for us split as well. The food came out AFTER 3 tables we were near that were sat after us, but we dug in regardless. My wife 's breakfast sandwich was nothing too special, she commented, but she realized they had other things on the menu that might 've been more flavorful, like mine. I had the Salmon Benedict which had perfectly poached eggs (slightly runny on the inside) and perfectly flaky salmon which seemed to be lots more than the 4oz the menu said it would come with. The hashbrowns came out without any salt on them, which is a good or a bad thing depending on who you are. As for the pancake, they were extremely dense and actually somewhat hard to cut with just the edge of your fork, so a knife is actually needed. The texture was just fine and the syrup was very thick and dark with good flavor. Not your run of the mill runny diner syrup I would say. So the food was the redeeming quality of this place when all was said and done. Their lunch looked good and I may have to stop by on another day to let the service redeem itself for me."
