We are local. 7 years in the same little Beach cottage. Since we're on social security so going out is a big deal. Well, this dump took my money. The owners don't have quirky personalities, they're just mean. The place was filthy, built up dirt and grease on all their little weird​ little decorations. I wanted to like this place because I could walk there. Thank goodness Martin's on LOVR opened. Decent breakfast, right up the street.

Not anticipating coming back here again. Had I done more research before coming I would have picked a different place. I'm not big on eggs and there weren't a lot of reasonable options. It is called The Sculptured Egg so that should have tipped me off but there's only one full breakfast option. All the sides are expensive so I couldn't even piece together something for a reasonable price. And everything took a long time because it's a mom and pop diner type place so the pop is the only chef. The omelette plates are HUGE so I'm sure that's worth the price tag on them. The service was not amazing. She was hot and cold the entire time and got short with us when we asked for anything. So all that to say, the place is not for me and I won't be returning.

First impressions can be deceiving. In this case, it absolutely wasn't. The menu is typed with an old typewriter. Much talk about the French. I had the special of the day: ham omelette with avocado and mornay sauce. There certainly is some experience in the kitchen coupled with a husband and wife team that certainly bring the warmth of the kitchen into the dining area. The wife has an excellent sense of humor and dry wit. She certainly left me with fits of the giggles. With all the talk of French styles in the menu, it was worth the wait. Fluffy omelette, perfectly fried ham, ripe avocado. Delicate flavors and a hearty breakfast in large portions. Try the muffins. So perfect for a Sunday morning brunch

Contrary to the overwhelmingly amazingly biased redundant ageist negative reviews about this place on the net, I had a great experience. When I was there, there were two older couples who absolutely loved the food & the ambiance. One was a local elderly couple who likely were regulars & the other couple were on a likely post-retirement outing from Nor-Cal. Based on the reviews, I knew that with a good attitude, I could have a good experience here. I also happen to share some of the same beliefs as the owners here. I had the attitude that I was a guest here & they likewise treated me with respect & great friendly service. I spoke at length with both the owners, who are a great no- BS mature couple. They have integrity. People who wish to have everything done their way need not apply. Too many complex modifications to their carefully crafted creations would give me a headache too...so I do empathize with that. I also cannot stand adding too much crap to a great egg creation...let alone crappy ketchup. Since I was raised in a conservative Slovak -Lutheran culture in NYC, I adopted the attitude that I was in one of my "Baba's" houses. As a kid, I never asked for anything other than what my Aunts feed me....and I tell you...those were amazing farm fresh grand meals. Here, you get the whole Farm-to-Table theme along with slow & careful crafting of a unique Sculptured Egg dish...all without the BS & SF / NYC pretentiousness. While you wait, you can see & hear Marlene or Jeff beating the egg whites with an old school electric beater...until they are light & fluffy. They then go into the oven to bake with all the other ingredients to form this one-of-a-kind dish. It is simply delish! I observed the care & compassion that Marlene showed with both couples. One older gentleman, needed help with his walker & both Marlene & I helped. She helped walk that couple to their car. While she was busy, I had a nice conversation with Jeff, the lone Chef & co-owner. He was super-nice & we had a nice talk about the area, since I am a local too. I really object to some of the many faceless cowardly reviewers who have defamed these nice people. I saw no evidence that they either "ate children" nor are like "Nazi's", or like a "Witch". They are hardworking mature real people who actually have "personalities" & their own opinions. Many people seek out culinary experiences in places where they do their own thing (e.g. SF Chinese Dim Sum places)& they are often far more tolerant when other cultures do not cater to our Western whims. People in NYC tolerate the cold, rudeness, & multi-hour long lines to maybe get a crappy greasy Kronut...before they sell out...but some of the same hypocrites cannot be polite, compassionate, nor tolerant to other situations. If you want a place that spoils your every whim, either stay in & eat a box of cereal...or go to a fine dining hotel restaurant....where even there, you need to be a bit civil. Anyway, if you desire a unique well crafted Egg dish like I do, come here! At home, I can Sou Vide my eggs, make great pouched eggs, but I cannot do the magic that Jeff & Marlene does! Thanks Jeff & Marlene!
