How Much is the Bread?
I went for brunch at Urbano on Queen Street for a little bit of socializing and catching up with some of my friends. I ordered a fritatta vegeterano which is basically an omelette with vegetables. This omelette did not come with bread and I dislike eating eggs without bread. I think eggs straight up are kind of nauseating and they need some bread or other carbs to balance the dish. So I asked the waitress for bread but a customer in this establishment can’t get a couple of slices of bread thrown in — you need to ORDER a bread side-dish which costs $5. Five dollars to get some bread to go with a $10 omelette. All I needed was a slice or two of bread to complete my meal but the restaurant wants to milk the customers out of their cash buy requiring them to buy a side dish of bread. I would say the bread should be included in the price of the $10 omelette, or at worst, charge the customer a dollar for the waitress’ trouble.
This is not good customer relations, they must rethink their service and quality of care.

$10 for an omelette is outrages….ALL YOU CAN EAT SHOULD BE THAT PRICE! I most certainly wouldn’t recommend this rip-off place to anyone. Thank you for mentioning the name. Did you end up paying extra for the bread or did you end up eating a nauseating fritatta? I do not find eggs nauseating without bread….I love eating them on their own. I hope you didn’t leave a tip. URBANO…this is poor service to patrons who have to pay $10 for two eggs and a spoonful of vegetables? You just lost yourself customers.

well, if you don’t like to pay for the expensive food outside, pack your own food instead. we have had pasta outside before, it costs more than $20. so what. that’s no difference than $5 of bread.

That’s an idea! Next time I go to a restaurant I’ll pack my own bread. Some restaurants have a corkage fee if you bring your own wine so I wonder if they’ll charge me a crumage fee for the privilege of bringing my own bread and leaving them the crumbs to sweep up?
