After reading the other comments about this restaurant, all extremely positive, I decided to check this restaurant out for breakfast.
I ordered "huevos rancheritos". It was good, not not out of the ordinary: just scrambled eggs with salsas, some black beans, whole wheat tortillas, and a kind of avocado salsa on the side. Nothing special, and frankly I thought $11.50 plus tax was a bit steep. All the entries on the menu start at $11.50 and go up from there, which is a couple of bucks higher than average for this region.
I had a good cup of coffee, but finished it long before my food, and was never asked for a refill. I tried flagging down the waiter but he was too busy with serving the other customers to be supplying refills.
Overall, a bit of a let-down. I doubt I will return any time soon.

I love Lady M. The food is great, the waiters are great. The ambience is great. Try the Crepe Croque Monsier (with roasted vegetables) it's so good. Any of the Eggs Bennies are amazing, too. I think it's the best breakfast joint in the city. (By far).
