This weeks restaurant is the Copper Grille in Saddle Creek.
Waking up on a lazy Saturday morning is the perfect time to enjoy NOT making breakfast. So with that thought in mind, after multiple cups of caffeinated fortitude, hubby and I, with son in tow, headed out to the Copper Grille in Saddle Creek.
Dress is anything from casual to golf attire to Sunday best. All but four tables have perfect views and the mimosas are fresh and delicious, as is the coffee. Choosing what to eat is relatively simple due to the fact that the breakfast selection is small yet varied. Son chose breakfast burrito, hubby some scrambled egg dish and me... a vegetarian omelet. Though I gladly call myself a carnivore, sometimes a vegetarian meal just sounds like it would hit the spot.
I was not disappointed. My omelet was made with very fresh ingredients with the mushrooms perfectly sauteed prior to being placed in the omelet - just the way I like it. The serving was way beyond what one person could eat AND it came with a small cup of fresh fruit and a side of sourdough toast (wheat or white if you so choose). My son's burrito was also a meal made for two, however as a growing boy he managed to consume the entire thing and was hungry an hour later. The only down side to the burrito was the large amount of potatoes within the wrapped creation. The burrito did not lack in flavor, just in heartiness. Hubby's scrambled egg concoction also was filled with an excess of potatoes however, it too did not lack in flavor.
Visiting just this once for breakfast was certainly not enough. I will be back to sample more yet will request 'light on the potatoes please' when I order.
The service was good, the waitress was cheerful, and the restaurant receives an A+ for cleanliness. Do not expect fast food, the Copper Grille is what may be termed as a 'leisurely dining experience.'

is simply my opinion. My tastes will be different from others and I
readily admit that I have no culinary background, but I am pretty
confident I know when food is cooked correctly or not, whether a drink
is poured well or not and especially whether wait staff is
first-rate or in need of a career change.)
