We were there for the Sunday brunch buffet, which was fine… the spread wasn’t anything special but it all tasted just fine. Because we were all essentially serving our selves at the buffet, the were completely adequately staffed. The staff just seemed to stand on the side and watch the dining room rather than stop by the table to refill the “complimentary” orange juice and coffee or clear empty glasses or plates. One cup of coffee or juice wasn’t really the post graduation brunch experience we were looking for. It was all together a nothing special experience and frankly, disappointing.

The atmosphere alone almost does it. But, Grays, you need to step up your food game and service.We were with a party of 4 and food was mediocre and the drinks came out wrong and very late. (Ditch the plastic straws please. Server was good but overly stretched.Carbonara was nearly flavorless…like boiled plain pasta with a light sauce, peas, and meager shaving of Parmesan.Maybe to save money the ingredients are sub par and the staff too light. The location is maybe the reason mediocrities remain.In any case, next time I want to make it a 5!

Everything served was lukewarm at best, the hash browns are best described as associated with a stove, they had no seasoning to speak of and some still tasted plant-like. The roast beef was barely warm and tough as leather, impossible to cut or even chew. They even managed to mess up the bacon, some of it was charred black and it still wasn 't even hot. The servers were also either incredibly ignorant or intentionally ignored us multiple times asking for water or condiments (which were not already at the table and needed to be requested, like seriously? You can 't just have salt, pepper and ketchup at everyone 's tables? and seemed only interested in getting us out as quick as possible. And all for 30 bucks a person! Completely ridiculous and will never go there for brunch ever again. The only reason I give them 2 stars is because the atmosphere was unique and interesting, but otherwise the service and food was terrible.
