An unfortunate update to my previous 5-Star review. Started with the corn-flakes within their corn flake French Toast containing gluten (this is an apparent switch in ingredients as it is listed on the menu as gf). This was followed by “fresh baked” gf bread on our sandwich which was sold as an improvement but was dry and took away from the once outstanding Chicken and Avocado sandwich (this is with a four dollar up charge for any gf substitution).To top it all off they served fake maple syrup which might be expected at Egg Harbor but at least Egg Harbor is honest about it and offers an option to purchase the real stuff (you know without high fructose corn syrup); I asked to see the packaging for the “real” maple syrup and they refused giving me a phone number to their supplier local foods. An embarrassing display that is falls far short of my previous experiences; it was explained that updates to the menu were being made, I certainly hope they choose to continue the tradition of excellence that once defined this gem.

Update: maple syrup was real but French toast was still a compromise (no corn flakes) along with sub par gf pancakes (especially with a $4 up-charge)
