I am going to return to Nan & Byrons, because I know they deserve another shot, but this experience was a little \"meh\".\n\nWe stopped in for sunday brunch before noon, with a reservation, hoping we'd miss a bit of the crowd. They sat five of us on a four-top that barely had room for four once you add in the amount of beverages usually consumed at breakfast (water/tea or coffee/juice), but we managed. \n\nI ordered an orange juice first, then my sister ordered an orange juice a few minutes later. Mine came in a tall glass with ice and by the looks of it looked fresh squeezed (or I was hoping that's what the separation of water and juice meant) hers arrived in a short glass without ice, perfectly mixed together.\n\nOur server had never worked a brunch before so she couldn't answer any questions about the menu. She also didn't know how to add an egg to a breakfast (someone wanted three eggs, only two arrived on the plate), and when someone wanted their eggs \"well done\" (half jokingly), she never clarified and just rang them in as over easy. I asked if the side of fruit was just a simple market diced melon/pineapple blend and she said yes, actually it comes with yogurt and granola on top. Not the end of the world for me, but some people might not want that. \n\nMy mother's entree came out with a few of the appetizers, so when we were all eating our main dishes my mother was left eating her tiny side of garlic shrimp. It was a little sad. While she was (slowly) eating her shrimp, my fiance was attempting to eat his charred, dried up sausage, I was trying to figure out how one of my eggs was barely poached while the other was a solid mass (I can't even say poached \"hard\", it was further gone than that) on top of my barely warm beet benedict, and another guest was a little hungry without his third egg and had to ask for a side of sriracha ketchup three times. \n\nYes, I loved the beets. I want to order them again, but I want them to be hot. I'd even take luke-warm. The french toast went over well. There were some highlights, but almost $20/person without a beverage for brunch demands more, especially being charged for the sriracha ketchup. \n\nAnd does anyone know what the donation line is for on the bill? Who am I donating to?? There wasn't any information about it anywhere, and that seems weird to me.
