We had a nice little walk from our hotel to Blue Fox on a damp morning. Getting there shortly after opening, we were pleased to get a table and not put on a waiting list.
We saw the size of orders being brought to the...table and decided that if we could share an order, and perhaps add a couple pancakes, that might be a nice complement for each of us. Our waitress agreed that this was a good plan, and they could split the pancake order in half.
It's a nice room, with pleasant staff and sweet odors. Our orders arrived shortly, and they were great. No issues with the food or service to this point.
We only have one little gripe. Blue Fox Cafe's menu does not include any side order offerings. Some restaurants may say, substitute pancakes for toast for an additional $5.00 or similar, but Blue Fox does not.
We ordered a half order of pancakes, in other words, 1 pancake rather than 2. Instead of $16.00 we thought perhaps $8.00 or $10.00. What do you think for 1 pancake? Well, the bill was $12.50 for 1 pancake, or $16.00 for 2.
Even though Blue Fox is doing very well and from what I understand often has a line up out the door. I would like to call them out on this, in a gentle way. If you are going to charge $12.50 for a pancake, I think disclosing this to your customers in advance is a good thing.
Personally, I don't think this is equitable. I would love to see a pancake option in lieu of toast.
If not for this, we would have rated excellent. Lovely little breakfast spot nevertheless.More
