I probably should've stuck with my guns. It was our last meal in Sitges before heading back to Barcelona, so we were looking to have a seaside breakfast for a culinary remembrance of this wonderful beach town. Honestly we would've been fine with bacon and eggs, but I was swayed by their more exotic menu items. But first, I have to mention the service. What service?
Jamie W and I took a table in their patio where others were already dining. We were waiting for acknowledgment from one of the young staff members. In what felt like an interminable amount of time, I got up to see if we could receive some service. It looked like the staff was taking an extended break chatting with the aged owner. I had to ask for menus which I eventually had to pick up myself.
I compounded this lapse by ordering one of their signature plates, the 16,5€ Peking Duck Waffle which sounds more interesting than the result. It wasn't really Peking duck but dried shards on top of an equally dry waffle presumably acting as the doppelgänger for the pancake. The saving grace was the fried egg sunnyside up (photo: https://yelp.to/8XD1hOLwMA).
Jamie was wiser and ordered the 6,5€ Waffle Croissant which came with scrambled eggs and melted cheese (photo: https://yelp.to/bSnTjde8so). It ended up more like a frittata but at least it kinda worked. The service didn't improve much as our meal progressed, but at least the sea breezes and beach weather made us more forgiving. At least until I wrote this review recounting the entire episode.
FOOD - 2.5 stars...kinda on the meh side
AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the seaside view was quite pleasant
SERVICE - 2 stars...not sure where they were
TOTAL - 2 stars...honestly the net effect was disappointing
