I feel like I'm being generous by giving a 3, but the atmosphere really elevates the experience. My husband and I brought our adult goddaughter here for Sunday brunch. I had made a reservation, but when we arrived, the hostess seemed a little caught off guard. It didn't matter much since there were only three occupied tables, and both the restaurant and bar were nearly empty.
I have to say...the design and décor are beautiful, stylish, and top-notch. Unfortunately, the service, food, and pricing brought the experience down a couple of notches.
I ordered the Mansion Breakfast with a cup of coffee. The bacon tasted old, hard, overly crispy, and clearly not made to order. The eggs were overcooked, and the potatoes were plain with no flavor. The highlight was the sourdough toast, which was excellent. My husband ordered the quiche and thought it was just "okay."
My goddaughter ordered a house salad, which came with the option of chicken, shrimp, or red snapper as a protein. At first, she decided to go without protein until the salad arrived. It was basically tossed spring mix with a few grated carrots. She added a side of snapper, which I suspect is what elevated the bill (though I couldn't tell for sure since the bill was not itemized).
Unfortunately, the fish was not fresh. The fishy smell reached our table before it was even served. She only took a few bites and tried squeezing lime on it to help, but it didn't improve much. We should have sent it back, but I didn't want to make an issue of it.
Our server was attentive, but the overall service was slow...though I'm not sure that was his fault. This place has so much potential with its location, décor, and attention to style, but the management and efficiency need to rise to the same high standard.
