text: If I could sum up La Brioche in one word it would be Overrated nnIve been to La Brioche more times than I have liked because I have an aunt in town who loves it and we go together often Also I used to work at the UWHC and would go to lunch with coworkers there sometimesnnI like that La Brioche is attractive Their decorating style is cute and reminds me of an eccentric old ladys house The hot pink wallpaper on the back wall is the bomb I also like how the egg dishes come with mixed greens on the side instead of carbs nnHere is what I do not like about La Brioche nnIt is EXPENSIVE Last time I was there a couple months ago I took a new employee out for lunch We both drank water and ordered a sandwich each The sandwiches come with green salad on the side My sandwich a BLT in particular was tiny It was more like the size of a halfsandwich from a place like Panera The bill came to something like dollars with tip I thought this was ridiculous and I did not think the service food or atmosphere warranted that pricennThe eggs are bland At least the times that I have had omelets and such there the dishes contained little flavor and were in desperate need of some salt I am also pretty sure based on flavor or lack thereof that they use nonstick spray to cook eggs as opposed to using butter This is a cardinal sin in my book Butter is not to be feared but embracednnThe service is friendly but SLOOOOW The aforementioned lunch with my departments new employee took over an hour from the time we ordered to the time we got our bill For two sandwiches Nothing even had to be cooked This is not good if they hope to appeal to people on limitedtime lunch breaksnnFinally and this is picky I will admit but it really rubs me the wrong way that they have signs up on the wall and a note in the menu that prohibit the use of laptops and cell phones I get that they want the place to retain an elegant vibe but at the same time it irks me as a functional adult to be told what I should do especially in such a passiveaggressive manner Also La Brioche if you are going to take over an hour to bring people their bill from lunch during a workday they will probably have to check their email at some point to avoid getting fired and thus being unemployed and unable to eat at your expensive restaurantnnOverall I guess I would give La Brioche stars but that is being extremely charitablenWhile I have never had an appalling experience here I have NEVER been wowed and I have definitely been annoyed on several occasionsnnThe breakdownnTaste of food starsnLocation starsnService starsnValue stars
