Eggs & Things & Thor

New thing of the day, Eggs & Things & Thor.

So for some weird reason we were up early, naturally. I was up around 7am and husband at 7:30am. We planned to see Thor at the first showing 10am, so decided to take advantage of our early up to try Eggs & Things - a place that always looks packed but since we were early we had hope.

Showed up to the restaurant at 8:10am, and it was full. There were about 6 people waiting outside so we had a back-up plan to go somewhere else if it was more than a 30 minute wait. We walked in and a waitress looked at us, asked "two?" and then got us at a table/seat. We were sitting down within 1 minute of walking in the door. Pretty cool for a packed house.

Apparently they were sitting the couples as a lot of families were waiting for 4+ seats. Service was super fast and super attentive and friendly. The place was packed and popular. They had one family getting up, table cleaned and a new family sitting down within maybe 3 minutes. Pretty amazing. Even with that they still paid attention and had great service.

We got crepes as an appetizer - amazingly delicious. Husband got a pork omelette, biscuits and hash browns. I got a California scramble over english muffin with hollandaise and fruit. Sorry no pics :( Am just getting back into the blogging. All of it was fresh, highest quality ingredients and delish! We got our check fairly quick, but it didn't feel like they were shooing us to hurry up and get out. We paid quick as there were a lot of people waiting. By the time we left, 8:50am, there were maybe 30 people waiting outside, and 10 or so inside for  table. Incredible how packed and big the place was. 9am and the place was hopping?

Then off to watch Thor. We were the first ones in the theater. I liked the movie but didn't think it was great. Liked the characters and drama between Thor, Loki and his father. I thought Asgard was awesome amazing but it definitely felt like a green screen movie. The setting of New Mexico was a bit blah but loved Natalie Portman even though I wasn't oozing over Thor. I really liked how they developed Loki's character and the development of Thor as well. The movie was missing something though. Not sure what it was, but it was missing something. Maybe a bit of soul? Felt very much produced, blockbuster superhero movie. Thor was a tough character to work, and I think they did a good job, just was missing that certain je ne sais quoi.

Overall it was a new thing day :) Eggs and Things we will go back. Thor, husband will probably get the movie like all the other comic book ones.
