The maitre d' was inattentive to the needs of the diners, and many tables around us were unhappy with the lack of service and attention. The servers seemed overwhelmed and in need of help, but no one assisted them. Our server was very sweet, but her station was too large for her, and she appeared to be new and in need of assistance.

The eggs Benedict came quite quickly, and was rather nice. However, when they put the coffee on the table I didn’tnotice there was no spoon. I like my coffee, sweet, but I had nothing to stir it in with. I had to get up from the table andfind a waiter to get me a spoon because nobody came back to ask me if everything was well. I also had to ask for the orangejuice that I ordered because they didn’t bring it. How they messed up on the two most simple parts of my three part breakfastorder I will never know. Not even McDonald’s make that mistake.
