Food was delicious, drinks took too long to come out almost 1 hour after being ordered towards & at the end of the meal. Entrees were served on the wrong dishes so it made it hard to eat pasta on a small plate vs in a bowl or large plate, without spilling sauce everywhere or on yourself. The waitress wasn’t attentive, water wasn’t refilled or to even check on us making sure our food was correct. When I got my drink from the bar it was a heavy pour and the juice in the drink tasted spoiled. I know they were slammed and we made a reservation, but they kept seating tables and couldn’t keep up with the volume of seatings. So as other tables were being sat and waiting for waitresses they were leaving.

The food was incredible, but the service was utterly frustrating. For instance, it took an exorbitant 40 minutes for a second drink to be delivered to our table. This delay occurred even after we had closed the bill and asked the server if the drink had been placed on the order. After another 15 minutes, we approached the bar to check if the drink was on their list, because the server never returned. To make matters worse, when it finally arrived the drink was not even the correct one.

The food was mediocre and took a long time to get, my appetizer came out at the same time as my meal. The service was horrendous!!!!!!!! The server then had the nerve to put 22% gratuity on our bill because we were a party of 10, but his service was soooooo bad there is zero way I would have tipped, probably why it was so bad, he knew he was going to do that. I was looking forward to eating here for the southern menu but I don’t think I’ll be back sadly.

My wife and I are “brunch experts”. We were excited to try this new place that was previously Ralph’s burger place. We had reservations and were promptly seated. Our server was attentive. The menu options were ok. So far so good. Deal killers though: the coffee is HORRIBLE. It was really just brown water. THE MUSIC was entirely inappropriate for a Sunday morning. The acoustics make talking difficult. The other oddity are the memorial TVs from when it was a sports bar/burger joint. Having multiple sports channels on wide screens for a Sunday morning brunch is just a buzz kill. I love sports, but there is a time and place for them. Hopefully with some more MATURE AND PROFESSIONAL management this place will find its groove. As of now, it’s a failed experiment.

We love the food but today we learned something new: a cup of black coffee is $4.00 and if you get a warm up or refill, it’s another $4.00. Seriously??? We are enjoying 23.00 breakfast entrees and every hit of black coffee is $4.00? Even cheap diners refill your coffee cup. I asked if we came for dinner and ordered a Coke, are refills charged and our server said no, they’re free. Now I’m not talking about fancy coffee, like lattes or specialty; simple plain black coffee is one small mug- and when we got the bill, our coffee for two people was $16.00! This is unbelievable and a terrible practice if you serve breakfast/brunch.

We appreciate your feedback and understand your concern about the pricing of our coffee refills.
