MJ's Downtown Cafe — Restaurant in Brentwood

The food here was quite good, but the service was some of the worst I have had. My wife, and three young children visited during lunch. The establishment was busy, but not insanely packed. The hostess was friendly and we were sat within 15 mins. A waitress checked in for our drink order, which was promptly brought out. She also provided refills before a different waiter came to take our food order. This gentlemen had an off tone from the start, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. The entire experience with him was very poor. We waited longer than expected for our food, but everything came out fine. He repeatedly seemed to ignore our table and even walked right by me as I was trying to get his attention on several occasions. My wife had to actually go up to the breakfast bar for refills. This did not improve any response from him. He only checked in to ask if we wanted boxes. When we received the check, my wife saw there was a misunderstanding on the price for the biscuits. My wife ordered 4 biscuits, under what he told her was $3.25 (ish?). Turns out it was $3.25 for each, totally $13 for biscuits. Not that huge of a deal, but when my wife asked the waiter about the price, he cut her off and stated he was correct and told her that when she ordered. Some simple politeness would have been adequate. Having 3 young kids, we know that quite a mess can be made. We often do our best to clean and control it before leaving, and to make sure to tip for the trouble as well. Before we could leave the table, the waiter made a snide comment that was obviously loud enough for us to hear it about the table being messy. I bussed tables for 4 years when I was younger, so I am very empathetic to the job. This behavior was unprofessional by this waiter. That is all. I...

I heard this was the best breakfast in town. So my wife and i finally go. Well, it was nice inside,and our waitress was good, but ive had better breakfasts at 7/11. Now I'll take some of the responsibility since i ordered a cinnamon roll($5+) and a yogurt parfait. My wife ordered a oatmeal combo that came with an egg and bacon, and it was good. My cinnamon roll was huge and the waitress must have piled on the frosting thinking it would make up for how dry and stale the roll was. I love frosting, but this was ridiculous. Im getting sick to my stomach as i write this, thats how bad it was. It had enough frosting for six cinnamon rolls, im not kidding. The yogurt parfait should have been called a granola parfait since it was mostly granola. They must have ran out of yogurt cuz there was a tablespoon of yogurt under i big pile of granola. They didnt skimp on the berries, and that was cool. I'm not saying that this place sucks. I'm sure that they serve killer breakfasts so please dont avoid this place just cuz i ordered wrong. But id think twice before you order the Cinnamon Roll from hell or the...
