I want this place to be great because it's so convenient to my house, and my kids like it. But it's not great. I ordered my daughter a brunch off the kids menu: egg and cheese scrambler with whole wheat toast and a side of fruit. What came was an egg and cheese scrambler with white toast and a heaping helping of fried potatoes. Our waiter was perfectly nice about it -- when I asked her about the fruit, she looked at the menu, agreed it was supposed to come with fruit, and brought out a plate of fruit. And when I asked her about the toast, she brought out some whole wheat toast. Still, it's troublesome when what's brought out is different in so many ways from the dish on the menu.\n\nThe reviewer who described the breakfasts as capable of feeding 3-4 people must have had very small people in mind. The eggs Benedict I got today was a single half-muffin, one poached egg, one slice of ham. That the brunch filled me up at all was due to yet another large pile of fried potatoes. They were good! But a brunch of fried potatoes with a side of eggs benedict was not what I had in mind. \n\nThe place was almost empty, but after waiting a while I had to get up and walk to the bar in order to get my coffee refilled.\n\nIf the food were great, all this stuff would be no problem. And the food isn't bad! But it's ordinary. The quality is about the same as at Mickie's Dairy Bar, the greasy spoon up the street -- but Mickie's gives you twice as much ordinary food at half the cost. Which I guess is why they're always full and we were one of only three tables eating at Brocach.
