Plums Restaurant
What seemed like a fun way to start the morning on this Memorial Day Weekend literally turned into a headache. My husband and I decided to go to Plums Restaurant on 17th Street for breakfast. Bad mistake.
We sat down for breakfast and asked not to be seated near any families with children. The place was crawling with children. We were told it would be quieter to sit outside. We went to order-I requested tea. They did not have any specialty teas, only black. No Earl Grey or English Breakfast or anything of the sort. For $3.00 a cup I expect something more than Liptons tea. So I decided to stick with just water. No offense to Liptons but I do not really like it. My water came in a dirty glass. I requested another glass of water with a straw. All I received was another dirty glass of water.
I ordered the specialty omlette. Rather pricey at $13.00. The omlette was large with lots of ham, mushrooms, spinach, cheese and tomatos. However it was rather bland.
By the time we left-and I could not leave soon enough-the children were screeching and their parents obviously not schooled in discipline did not see any reason to take them away from the dining area had given me a massive headache.
Total bill was $35.00. Rather expensive. Too many children and did not taste all that good.
