My understanding is that this restaurant location is only open about a week, so I hope things will improve.
My adult daughter and I went for brunch and it was just terrible. First, as pretty as the restaurant is, it is very cramped and the space is poorly used. Round tables are fun but in such a small room, they don't work. We were seated at the very end of the long space that leads to the sole restroom, along the coffee bar. We were the very last table, just a few inches from the entrance to the bathroom, about an inch between us and the tables next to and behind. It was very uncomfortable.
My daughter tried to order the caviar omelette, which is on the menu but not available, so instead she ordered the truffle omelette which she said was pretty good. I ordered the eggs benedict, which on the menu says it is served on an English muffin with Canadian Bacon and spinach. Not so...what the eggs were served on was more like a flat, flavorless crumpet. There was no bacon and the spinach was served raw (weird in this case). My poached eggs were terribly undercooked and the hollandaise sauce was from a package as it tasted powdery and very salty. Basically an inedible dish, which also came with some under-seasoned, poorly cooked home fries. I also ordered a side of scones, which took about 15 minutes to come to the table, and when they did they were also undercooked and served with a jam and a poorly executed Devonshire cream-ish spread.
My daughter ordered a matcha latte which she said was very good. I order a hibiscus and raspberry mocktail, which was cloyingly sweet and really not drinkable.
When the server came to the table near the end of the meal, which she did in less than an hour, she must have noticed that I barely ate or drank anything, but the only comment she made was asking if I wanted to take the remaining scone home. I said yes, but no box or bag materialized, which is ok because it wasn't very good.
I hope this restaurant will learn from their mistakes. As mentioned, it is very pretty, but management needs to give chef and servers some notes to help them get better. Also, remove a few tables or get some square ones to make it more comfortable for patrons. Also, the reservation states that parties under four have 90 minutes at the table but we were rushed out in about an hour. When we first got there, the restaurant was full, but when we left there were several empty tables, so why were we rushed?
