The customer complained that she had to wait for a table, even though there appeared to be tables available. I am surprised because she claims to be a regular. You would think that a regular would have the good sense to make a face to face comment to one of the servers or the manager on duty. Why run to Google and vent, how does that help. I 'll tell you why, because it 's easier to be a troll than a friend. The Scrambled Egg is a fine restaurant well known for an exceptional staff. They have always listened to my suggestions/questions politely and done whatever they could to make my experience better. If this person had taken a minute to ask she would have undoubtedly learned that the kitchen was reacting to a sudden arrival of big parties and needed a few minutes to get them all settled. This is often the case with busy popular restaurants. There is certainly a large supply of half empty restaurants in the area where our regular can be sure to get seated immediately. ________________________ Update (July 3, 2024) Ever heard of the Tlaxiaco Omelet? Me neither, but turns out, it’s delicious, a variant of a Spanish omelet with some surprising twists. Tangy and buttery and a little spicy, this is definitely a “wake up” breakfast. I don’t know how often Chef Javier at the Scrambled Egg will make these omelets available. Make sure to ask the very next time you drop in. There is something called “the legend of the Tlaxiaco Omelet.” According to this legend, every now and then, a few brave men made a certain trip from Tampa to the lovely city of Tlaxiaco in the southern triangle of Mexico. The trek’s goal was the acquisition of the special Jalapeños found in the fertile valleys of Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca. Over the years, the journey was repeated and came to be known as the buscar la tortilla (or, the quest for the omelet). After a while, these intrepid explorers added a stop at the small village of Talaxca and eventually, Queso Oaxaca, the creamy soft cheese of this region, was added to the omelet’s ingredients. As the legend goes, a third stop was added. This time at the town of San Carlos, Tamaulipas where the explorers would add another ingredient the world famous Arbequina olives. These little bright green gems can range from being mild and sweet to slightly sour and salty. It did not take long for the Arbequinas of San Carlos to become a feature of the Tlaxiaco Omelet.

I've rarely seen such an unprofessional hostess and the wait times were totally inappropriate as there were several open tables.

The gravy was creamy and had plenty of sausage bits in it. I would definitely recommend eating here. They haveoutside seating as well which looked very inviting. Maybe next time.
