I went for lunch on a Monday and it was very cute, had great food, and we got seated right away. I tried to go back for Sunday brunch and there was a line down the sidewalk since they don't take reservations for brunch, so I went elsewhere but want to return soon to taste their breakfast food.

I live in the neighborhood and know the winding line that forms outside FOAF every weekend. I've been twice now, convinced that the lengthy queue and bucolic charm must be redeeming. Sorry to report, it's not. On both occasions it was for brunch. The options were very limited, and when asking for some basic eggs, we were informed they only poach or scramble their eggs. Maybe I'm too low-brow to understand this caliber of cooking eggs - or maybe it's just lame. The food (and beverages) left much to be desired and the service was spotty and unpleasant. Not to mention their offering of a standard bagel and cream cheese, which cost $5. Sorry FOAF. I don't get it.
