Six of us went for Mother’s Day brunch. Dining on a holiday always means that things will be slower and a little bit bumpy. However, this experience was by far the worst that any of us had ever had had a holiday brunch. Our reservations were for 1 pm but we were not served until 3 PM. And that was only because we asked a server (not even our own) if our food was coming soon. Our server came to ask about the order and it was clear that she finally put in our ticket after our reminder. If we hadn’t asked about it, we might still be sitting there. When the food finally did come, 50% of the orders were incorrect. Additionally, we were not served a complete meal, which included a dessert. We asked for our check but were not offered validation for a discounted parking fee, part of the offer. Every person at that table dines out regularly at all kinds of restaurants. None of us will be back. Would not recommend.

We reserved a table for Mother’s Day brunch for four. We were seated right away; however, the service was extremely slow. We had to wait over 30 min for coffee (at brunch? huh?) and a little over an hour for our entrees. That was aggravated by being seated outside with an umbrella that provided shade for two of the four of us. We were there so long that I have a significant sunburn. I’m sure I didn’t reserve unshaded outdoor seating because my mom is 83. Food was good but nothing special. It was hot when it came. Nice live music. They gave us a 20% credit for slow service, but they added an automatic 20% tip that they didn’t deserve. Overall pretty disappointing.

Ok, please stop closing down the patio. Your dining room sucks. You need to turn off the lights in there and just have it be candle lit. When I asked your busboy for an extra plate he pointed to the bread plate and said to use that. Your host is a clueless high school kid. Step it up please. This is coming from a local.

The food is always good (especially for hotel food). The dining room is pretty and the outdoor patio nice. Love the craft cocktail Violet Beauregard. We had breakfast, lunch and Happy Hour here during our recent stay.
