in the last weekWe have never been to this restaurant before. There were 4 adults and 4 small kids. I ordered the mocha coffee, now it doesnt say whether its hot or cold. To me it doesnt matter I can drink it either way. Says free refills on the menu. Comes out in a mug like a rootbeer float with whipped cream on top and she lays down a straw. I go to take a drink with the straw and almost screamed. The coffee was soooooo hot I burned the inside of my mouth. Hours later still unable to taste anything. No warning or nothing except sorry I got the whipped cream all over the mug. Then we get the bill, I made her put it all on one check. She says, since their is 8 we added the gratuity already. Mind you all the kids are 7 and under. $110 for breakfast with no cash fees and two service charges for $15 plus dollars. The only thing I almost loved was the stale warm cinnamon rolls. We wont be back. Just warning others about the coffee you wont ever get a refill on because its too hot after 30 minutes still to try and drink.
