Delicious food, especially brunch. Friendly staff, rosemary-garlic potatoes and biscuits a must try. Long wait, but well worth it

Egg Problems. I went here with a group of friends this past Sunday morning for brunch, and I have to be honest with you, I was a little underwhelmed. I had their Wild Salmon Scramble, which is three eggs, house smoked wild salmon, goat cheese, etc. This would have been far better as a Wild Salmon Omelette. The eggs were burnt, which meant the salmon got too much heat, and the goat cheese was apparently melted away. Their Rosemary Garlic Potatoes were fantastic. Problem is, I order the Wild Salmon Scramble, not the potatoes. Know what I mean?

My wife had the Salmon Benedict. What she wound up having was Two Snotty Eggs in Flavorless Hollandaise sauce. With a dish that screamed for at the very least a traditional touch of tarragon and lemon in the hollandaise, the sauce had neither. At least a little dill maybe? Nope, there was nothing but the blandest hollandaise I have ever tasted.

How do you pull poached eggs out of the liquid when they are undercooked? Seriously, they were undercooked and runny. Of course, with them being covered by hollandaise, she didn't realize it until it was "too late".

No, I am not the type to send a dish back to the kitchen. It's just not my style.

What wound up being our first time there, will likely be the last time we go there. If a group of friends decides they want to go to Besaw's, we will go, but it will not be a destination of our choosing.

poor food poor service exremely noisy. burger was very greasy, service non existent. the manager or owner should have more wait staff for a Saturday night. The waitress tried but she was waiting on the entire resturant. The manager or owner should not have the wait staff spread so thin. I will not be back and will not recommend to anyone.

Good food, mediocre service. I went here for the first time for breakfast. They were packed at 8:20am on Sunday, but we got a seat in the covered patio (mostly warmed by half-working heaters). My omelet was ok, but there was only cheese on half of it
