Came here for the "heels and mimosas" brunch and I wish I did not. From the moment we walked in I could tell it was going to be a shxt show but I still gave the benefit of the doubt.
I purchased my tickets to this show weeks ago, actually was one of the first tickets sold and made sure I picked the perfect table for us (or so I thought) :.. I reserved the table closest to the stage and and the bathroom to avoid interrupting and being comfortable.
When we arrived we walked into the room where the show was being held, because no one was at the front to check us in. (We didn't know their protocol since there's no directions online) we were then brought to a table that was along the wall, & would have one of the guests facing the wall and not the show.
I inquired on why the table I paid for was already being used and not the table I purchased tickets for. She informed me that Eventbrite doesn't have their seating chart, although it was setup accordingly. She ended up sitting us on the left side and not the right side, so we had to constantly walk in between people to go to the bathroom or look for our food that took almost an hour and a half.
I guess the party that was behind us was family of the person who was throwing the event, so they informed me it was the perfect seat because "you'll be able to see the whole show, we are family they never come over here " ... oh lucky us. Not interaction for a drag show ? Pointless
We were given a sheet of paper as their menu, and not the menu we were expecting. The menu didn't include items that we were watching other patrons receive. So we asked our water Tony and he advised the drag brunch is only that menu and no exceptions, per what he was told. I requested a manager and he went to speak to them and came back and told me although others (don't look like me) are getting meals not listed on the menu provided, they cannot accommodate us.
I advised I was just going to leave and he could close my tab out, because we chose this location due to the menu. Tony was very apologetic but advised he did ask and was told no. So I went to the front where we were supposed to check in, and requested the bill from "Kavaaz". She was very understanding and advised they were understaffed so it was hard to accommodate the entire menu, but she did make the exception for us. As she stated she wanted us to enjoy our experience, which I truly appreciated. Especially since our tickets were purchased before we got here
I ordered water and breakfast potatoes asap because I was starving and had already been there about 30 minutes before we got anything. The wings weren't cooked well done as I requested, on either order. The spicy wings were not spicy, and the bbq sauce was nothing special.
The steak was okay, the sauce underneath was definitely needed. We opted for truffle fries Instead of seasoned and that was a waste.
The Amanda's meat burger, is the only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of 1. It literally saved me from starving to death because everything else was mediocre at best. Though the pickles on the plate were disgusting
The mimosa tower is and isn't worth it. If there's a bunch of you perhaps but it's just a bottle of Prosecco topped off with orange juice. Depending on how you pour, may be cheaper than ordering individually.
The breakfast potatoes were also very good
The French toast was cold and we did not eat it, so I cannot comment on that. But it looked appetizing
The service here was completely slow, and that may be due to staffing. Tony did everything he could, to try and make the experience better but this was not what I was expecting at all.
The actual drag show, you're better off going else where. They lip sync the whole time. And there was even a child there participating, which made me feel very awkward with all the sexual innuendos etc.
There was ONE woman who performed that was great. Won ms boston I believe. I believe she is also at Blend, and I think I'll give that one a try. The others were old and not giving what needed to be gave.
Requested a refund on my tickets as my seats were not what I purchased nor the menu, but was unsuccessful.
Not too sure if I'd be back to the restaurant because this brunch might've ruined it for me. Plus the menu items are overpriced for subpar food
