I tried the breakfast burrito and huh and waddle. the burrito was great, no complaining and served with excellent boiled hashbrowns. the waffel was as I like it, fluffy and crispy. the fried chicken was perfectly cooked.

The waiter informed me that they only brew one pot of decaf each day and didn’t mention making more until I asked why that was the case. Coffee is one of the simplest things to prepare; it’s puzzling not to provide fresh coffee when it only takes about three minutes to brew a new pot. It’s frustrating that we spent $76 for brunch for two and ended up feeling sick from the food, without enjoying our meals. This used to be one of our favorite brunch spots pre-pandemic, but it has significantly declined. What’s most disappointing is that our waiter was clearly aware of our dissatisfaction with the dry eggs in the burrito and the dry burger, yet he did nothing to remedy the situation. No manager came to speak with us, and no one offered to remake our food or to do anything to improve our experience. Our waiter knew exactly how we were feeling but didn’t attempt to make it right. We won’t be returning, and I wouldn't recommend wasting your money at this establishment. What was once our favorite brunch place is no longer worth it.

We arrived just after 6:30 on a Friday and were seated immediately, which was a nice surprise. However, that was where the positives ended. We ordered the pan chicken and the cheeseburger, but a table of five and a table of eight, who arrived after us, were served before us. Over an hour passed before our meals finally arrived. Unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked to the point of being nearly burnt, and the burger was served cold. We did appreciate being comped for two drinks, but despite explaining how unsatisfactory our experience was, that was all that was offered to us. Given the circumstances, we will not be returning.

Paneed Chicken was terrible/burnt. The sauce that was to accompany it was barely there. Ribeye was beef jerky.Sides were sub par. Waitress was severely less than impressive. Sat at the table for a good 10 minutes before being acknowledgedbecause she didn 't see us in her section that was only half full at most. Meanwhile others that were sat after us were beingserved before us. Had to get up multiple times to request items from other waiters and waitresses because she regularlydisappeared for long periods or was too busy mingling with her friends at another table. That along with the pictures of BillClinton and Ruth Ginsberg on the wall.. I 'll gladly spend my money elsewhere in the future.
