There is one thing that continues to bring me back to Beaumont's despite the snobby and airheaded waitstaff. The food is phenomenal from the Coast Toast, Chille Relleno, and Thick Cut Bacon to the quality of the coffee. The menu choices are amazing - each item served is better than the last. \r

Breakfast is my favorite meal and something I look forward to, especially on a weekend morning at Beaumont's. However, their service continues to be abysmal. I go back every time in hopes that maybe the last time, my server was hung over or just wasn't very sharp, but the only constant aside from the excellent food, really, is the atrocious service. \r

This time around our each dish order came with half of the order missing. If the order said ""served on top of scrambled eggs"" the scrambled eggs were missing. If the order was a dish meant to have a side of butter and syrup, we had to ask. Refills on coffee and water are difficult to come by, and when we ask for something, it takes 15 minutes to find its way to our table regardless of how packed the place may be. \r

In closing, while I love this place, I always walk away feeling abused and slightly bitter. While the prices aren't outrageous, it's not cheap. This establishment is making a poor choice in waitstaff, management, and attention to the details that matter. I'm at the point where I'm not sure if this relationship can continue. Beaumont's is a bad boyfriend that I can't tear myself away from, but it may be time to break up.
