text: Eh . . I'm not sure. After hearing the rest of my family rave about it for weeks I finally had the chance to try it when I was in town visiting mom.  At 10:30am on Friday there was only a very short wait. After we were seated. It took a while for our  drink order to be taken but that's not a big deal. The coffee was very good and the beignets are SO good, seriously. . . order yourself some beignets you will NOT be sorry. After that things sort of went down hill for me. Mom's omelet was very good. My beef and seafood benedict just . . . wasn't. The English muffin was soggy and rubbery. The crab/seafood mixture was awfully 'fishy' and the hollandaise sauce was really REALLY lemony and didn't sort well at all with the crab/seafood mixture. The beef was very good but didn't really make up for the soggy rubbery English muffin. All in all just not good. I'm aware that some of this may just be me ordering poorly. But I've had lots of benedicts in lots of different places and the good ones always have a nice cutable with a fork English muffin. I'm very willing to try them again and am totally open to giving them 4 stars but for now I'm going to go with 3. They are also a bit on the expensive side 40 something dollars for breakfast for two and an appetizer seems a bit much. But it is Ballantyne so . . yeah. I'll be back (if for no other reason for the beignets) but so far I'm not really whelmed by anything else.
