I am as real and friendly as they come. I do not often write a review simply because I do not think about it, but this one is personal and important.

The service was okay, cordial but impersonal. We were there for Mother's Day for a brunch and I had made reservations. Though I made reservations for four, we had to wait, and we ended up sitting at a table for two. Ten minutes passed by before they got us a highchair. They eventually offered a bigger table but it is difficukt to get kids resettled so we declined. My wife ordered the eggs benedict along with a slice of apple pie and I had the eggs commodore both of which were good but nothing to write home about.

While we waited we had our two little ones ages 3 and 1. They were having a hard time staying calm so we wanted to eat outside, but the restaurant would not allow us though it was empty outside and the wait was now going 45 minutes. While waiting I stepped in a pad of butter that was under our table from a previous guest and it got everywhere.

So we finally made the decision to get our food to go so I could take the kids outside for my wife and then once we received our food we are outside (with no to go silverware). It was this level of impersonal care (along with the mediocre food) that we will never on God's green earth return to the Bread Box. In this day in age, where most places are family friendly and on top of the fact that it was Mother's Day, I was amazed they could not understand why we needed to sit outside.

The food: good portion and good price point, but the English Muffin needed toasted longer. Because of it being undertoasted, the overall texture of the egg and bread was soft and gummy. Not the best experience in my opinion.

Best to you.
