My husband and I were super excited to try this place out! After making reservations to enjoy a nice Valentine's Day brunch, we were disappointed with our entire experience.
SERVICE:
Upon being seated and receiving our menus, we waited approx. 15 mins before finally catching a servers attention (only reason was because we had a "paying station" to our right. She asked if we had been taken care of and we told her no, she proceeded to serve us water and tell us she would call our waiter.
Another 10 or so minutes go by and nothing. Finally, the same server comes to the paying station and we asked her if we could please place our order. We proceeded to order the pistachio croissant, an americano, steak frites with eggs, salmon benedict and a chido y padre drink.
FOOD:
We received the americano and the croissant fairly quick.
The coffee was a joke, save the 5 bucks. My husband proceeded to cut the croissant in half with the knife and made a mess, a waiter who was near by happened see and bring him a steak knife. Super nice of her!
The croissant was okay, my husband was expecting better - it was extremely sweet.
Our food came, still no drink (chido y padre).
Salmon Benedict: The yolks weren't not jammy but runny. The side of potatoes were good.
Steak Frites with Egg: I needed a steak knife, but of course, no waiter was around. The steak was bland and over charred. When ordering, I said I wanted the steak medium, but waiter suggested that medium well would be best, so I said, okay. I had to ask for salt and dip it in ketchup to eat it. I also asked for the egg to be over easy and that wasn't the case. I ended up eating all the fries and leaving some steak because I just couldn't continue any longer.
OVERALL:
Half way thru our meal, server says that the bartender didn't show so they can only offer me a mimosa or sangria. I said I'd continue with water.
Towards the end, the server brings me the drink I had ordered. I must say, it caught me by surprise since I was told that they would not be able to make it because the bartender was not available.
Nonetheless, the drink was great and probably the only great thing besides the parking. I was expecting ok and got wow'd.
When we arrived, they were really busy. But towards the end, my husband and I ended up being the only guests in our section. They were not prepared for the VDAY rush. I only hope this had to do with the OK food and service.
