Food was sub-par. Saying that for scramble eggs, French toast and biscuits is pretty bad. Eggs and biscuits are freshly prepared but they send us cold ones, the server takes them back and I’m told that the chef then took another person’s order to quickly replace mine. Of course that was sitting around too, and so it was lukewarm at best. Biscuit was also the same temp. It’s Mother’s Day I get it but I have seen busier places that crank out meals that are hot and tasty. French toast tasted like bread pudding. Eggs were basically a long term hotel free breakfast offering.

The food was fine, but they couldn’t honor some simple requests. Very odd, and not what we’d hoped for.

I went with 4 people for their Easter brunch. Well over an hour wait, and we finally received our food. The food was tasty but some plates obviously sat under warmers. The coffee was not hot and guests’ drinks were mediocre. The service was extremely slow and short staffed. For the amount of money paid out, we could have gone somewhere more upscale. We were very disappointed.

We had another lovely meal at Scratch. The cocktails were very good, the duck dumplings wonderful, and the short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth. We had those with a side of cornbread. A lovely way to spend the time before our play.
