Omelette Parlor: Retro look, no service


Wandering down Main St, Santa Monica yesterday, we came across a really cute looking store called Omelette Parlor.

Going inside, was a trip down retro lane. There were old-school style benches, beautiful woodwork, grandfather clocks, etc. Lots of great photos of the beaches in the time of our grandparents and great grandparents. It looked just like I’d expect a old soda fountain.

We were excited to eat…except that after 10 minutes we still couldn’t get someone to take our order.

Its been the first time I’ve left a restaurant in a long time, but starving and needing to run and getting zero attention from wait staff doesn’t inspire me to patronize a place.

How’s the food? Jury out. Decor: awesome place with great feel of being in other time. Service: bad enough that we didn’t stick around to try the food.

Hopefully an isolated experience, but I don’t understand why someone would have potential customers come in and then not even attempt to get their business.
