A friend and I had a wonderful breakfast at Roux this morning. I had the Dungeoness Crab Benedict and could easily go back tomorrow and chow down again. The eggs were perfectly poached, and there was a good about of crab meat, which made paying $14 for the breakfast just fine. The home fries were slightly cajuny and perfectly browned. I am excited to have a great place like this in my neighborhood, especially since there was no wait.
Service was excellent, but we did have to wave the server down to get our bill. The food came out really quickly and several people checked in w/us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
My ONLY complaint is that, without thinking to look at the price, I asked for green tea. My friend and I were shocked when the bill arrived, charging me $5 for some hot water and tea leaves. The tea was good, don't get me wrong, but really, 5 bucks? I could enough tea to last me a couple weeks for that price. If I had known I was going to spend $5 on a beverage, I would have ordered an alcoholic drink. Anyways, rant over.
This place is awesome, the sausage gravy is killer, and I seriously considered the asking the stranger sitting next to me for a bite of his fried chicken.
I'm excited to visit Roux again for dinner and imagine I won't be disappointed.
