I'm still getting used to the idea of restaurants in houses (Local Breeze, Cibo, Main Ingredient, etc.). Every time I go to one of these I'm giddy, like a little kid at the circus! \"Wow! It's a house! And they turned it into a restaurant!\" Can you tell I spent way too much time in the suburbs before moving to downtown? I forgot what it's like to go to a restaurant with personality.\n\nAnyway, Local Breeze. My 3-star rating is only so because of the service (or lack thereof). The food was good, with room for improvement. I've been here twice now, once for breakfast with my husband, and once for lunch with a good friend. Both times, really enjoyed my meals. \n\nBreakfast was eggs, bacon and two enourmous pieces of whole wheat toast. Holy crap - i could just come here to eat toast! It's delicious. I also had the spicy cottage cheese (did NOT like that at all, though the server said it was one of their signature/popular sides, meh... ). \n\nMy lunch was a classic turkey sandwich on wheat with house fries. My friend had the coca cola ham sandwich. Both were delicious but I think they would have been made better if the bread had been toasted. No problem, I'll just make sure to request that next time I go, if I get a sandwich (though I'm thinking trying of a burger the next time I go).\n\nBut the service - ugh. Seriously? What is wrong with Phoenix?! Why is it so hard for people to even TRY to offer good service? Ever since we moved to Phoenix from NYC, this is something we've always noticed, good customer service is just a rarity here.\n\nAt Local Breeze we were left waiting a ridiculous amount of time, both times I've been there. Not only that, our water glasses sat empty almost out entire meal - both times. If someone can't come by and check on that, at least make it a point to leave apitcher of water on the table. \n\nI noticed so many reviews on here where people say what great service they had, and I've gotta wonder: are your standards that low, or did I just end up with a dud both times? I really liked the food, so I'm willing to give this place a few more tries, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the poor service was an exception and not the rule there.
