Review of Bayside Betsy's Restaurant

Not sure what happened to this place. I have been here many times in the past for lunch and dinner. The eggs Benedict was always my favorite. I recommended this place to my friend and am now regretful that I did. The waiter during the morning opening on June 26 was practically annoyed to be there. Another couple walked into the mostly empty restaurant and the waiter told them to sit wherever they wanted. When they were found sitting at a table with 4 place settings, he told them they couldn t sit there. They were annoyed and left the restaurant.
I ordered the eggs Benedict and my friend ordered an omelet.
My eggs Benedict came out and I immediately noticed what appeared to be a large yellow chunk that resembled solidified egg yolk.Upon further inspection, I realized it was an unthawed chunk of frozen Hollandaise sauce. It ran down the side of my eggs Benedict like a blob of sherbet in a champagne punch. Needless to say the Hollandaise sauce was cold. I decided to eat the eggs despite this and started cutting into the low grade ham that was full of tendons and fatty tissue. I ignored that since I had ordered a side of bacon. The last straw was when I tasted the stale English muffin. I just ended up eating the bacon and the poached egg which were the only edible items.
I really don t know what happened to this place. I actually asked the waiter if they were under new management. He said they were about five years ago.
I will never return to this establishment. In my opinion, I think it s that the owner simply doesn t care. This is further supported by the fact that some other reviewers made negative comments below and the the owner berated them for writing a negative review.
A respectable establishment would take this constructive criticism and try to improve.
