The Kitchen - Mentor-on-the-Lake

Miss when it was the kitchen : I can’t believe the downgrade

Food was complete trash. Avocados were completely brown. Lettuce wilted.Only one employee running the whole place and very frazzled.

Mannnnn. The owner should be ashamed of themselves. Small business owner to small business owner. I knowwwww they can’t think the little girl they had in there today, was okay to leave there by herself.Poor girl. Even though the food sucked, was wrong, couldn’t be made, etc list goes on I still feel bad for that poor employee.First she couldn’t give change for $50. Was completely frazzled. Couldn’t make the waffle. Had to change order after already waiting 15 min. Ordered a turkey pesto caprese. Which I received, tomato lettuce cheese on a toast. Go back up. Say there wasn’t any turkey on it. Get it back. Say there isn’t any pesto on it. Which she had zero clue what pesto was, I’m the like green sauce.. still nothing. Like I literally can’t believe you think she can be in there alone. Taking orders and cooking. I could not imagine if one other person walked in or if door dash went off. Not going to lie. Horrible horrible experience. I’m still a little Mind blown. I drive by this place a million times I’m always wondering why no one is here. Now, I know.

Eating here was a mixed bag. Pros: decent food (we ate an omelet, breakfast sandwich, club sandwich) and our waitress was friendly and competent. Cons: the place was very disheveled from the dining area to the bathrooms, there was food and debris on the floor; no paper towels in the restrooms; silverware was missing. Would give it 2.5 stars.

Nice people but not my fav sorry. The takeout is good and dining in seems nice but haven't tried. Kids like the pancakes and she said French toast is their specialty. I'm not a French toast person much these days. Veggie omelet last time which was a while ago was a bit greasy but otherwise good.
