    What a disaster. Initially started well, had drinks at the bar, bartender couldn't have been better. Then we were seated for our brunch. One hour and 15 minutes later, we still did not have our food (come on, it was only eggs!). Waiter had apparently lied earlier when he said he had checked on our food and it would be 'right out'. Completely ruined our visit. Won't be back.

    Another top-notch pre-theater meal. We have never had a disappointing experience here. In any event, the service was attentive and the food was very good. We started with a fried calamari appetizer that was perfectly prepared. I opted for the short rib special. The ribs were wonderful, but I found the sauce on the grits accompaniment too cheesy and rich for my taste. The duck breast, crab stuffed red snapper, and grilled salmon all were delicious. The dishes were quite large and none of us had room for dessert.

    This is my second visit & it was on a Monday evening. My date ordered the special Red Snapper & it was excellent. I had the risotto with Spring peas & other vegetables. It was incredible.

    My friend and I split two dishes. We both loved the veggie sandwich, which was full of well seasoned veggies - one of the best I've had. However, the deep dish French toast was a dense block that, while it tasted good, it also hit our stomachs like a brick. We had to ask twice for water and didn't received the customary mini-muffins that are usually brought to the table immediately after ordering. We asked about this at the end of our meal and our server brought them for us to go. I love this place for brunch and will still go back, but will avoid the French toast and ask about the muffins earlier if they don't arrive.

    We had a lovely meal but felt a bit rushed out at the end. It was a busy day but manager told us he was stressed about our table. We were there for 1.5 hours and had several rounds of drinks so we weren't loitering. Kind of off-putting at the end

    I always love 44 1/2. The service is always great, the drinks and the food are fabulous. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but not crazy, and always fantastic.
