A warning to all partaking in brunch- this place was downright one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had.
It started with drinks. Walking in as the first people upon opening, we settled in to wait for the staff to while we figured out our drink orders. After placing our orders we had a wait time for up to 30 minutes for cold tea and recycled coffee, a couple Bloody Marys and a rather great, if I'm being honest, mezcal cocktail. Beyond the downright cold coffee and tea, the Bloody Marys were described as vodka and tomato juice and each separate drink lacked any garnish, requiring multiple people on multiple instances to request said accompanied garnish.
Then, the food. Very few times have I ever been to a place where I thought "I could make this hungover in my apartment", and I'm no Gordon Ramsey.
Upon looking at the menu, I ordered my staple; chicken and waffles. At $14 I was utterly speechless to have been serve what was, with 100% confidence, two Ego brand waffles sandwiching a piece of chicken- which also required us to request maple syrup which was not included. Next was the huevos rancheros which followed my dish. What was described as served with chips and as a classic hearty dish turned out to be a bowl of unsavory rice and beans, topped with two eggs and salsa to try to cover it all up. I felt like I was paying by the chip.
The worst part about this experience was the thought of being scammed and, after being polite and vocal about our experience to the waiters, having such an unsatisfied feeling leaving much to be desired from the working staff and management here.
What we got: $10 Bloody Mary, $14 Chicken and Waffles, and $13 Huevos Rancheros (rice bowl, tbh)
Food: 1
Service: 1 (at least return the polite gestures)

Disclaimer: we were a larger group, however we were also among the first people upon opening and had provided a notice and reservation weeks prior to our visit.
