First let me say the food here was outstanding. The kitchen staff really knows what they are doing and I would put their burger at the top next to anyone in Riverdale. Outside of this though our experience wasn't too great.

We decided to try this spot because it was one of two places in Riverdale that offered an unlimited brunch. Place was dead on arrival, and the waitress said to us typically brunch goes for 90 minutes before they have to turn tables over, but if the place is empty they wouldn't enforce it.

Drinks were what you would expect for an unlimited, pitcher of mimosa that was mostly orange juice.

We get to about the 90 minute mark and one of us has to walk over to the waitress to request another pitcher of OJ. 5 minutes later she comes over and tells us its going to be 25 dollars because we missed the 90 minute window. We tell her we had been waiting a while, etc, and ask her to reconsider. She storms off, returns with a pitcher (which I think may have been entirely OJ), drops it on the table without making eye contact with us.

I didn't think too much of it - she was young and kids will be kids given the inexperience. The staff now completely ignores us for the rest of the time there.

When its time to leave I go up to the bar and have to ask for my check, because again they would not approach us. I leave a 35 dollar tip on a 120 subtotal, thinking I was being generous.

Later that evening I check my receipt and realized they had added a service charge onto the bill which I didn't see. I probably should have caught it, but I was in a rush to leave, was tipsy, and never in my wildest dreams would I have expected an added service charge on a 3-top.

I called them and requested they take the service charge off, because clearly this was a case of double tipping. They didn't inform me nor was it clear there was a tip added to the bill. To be nice I even suggested they take off their 20 dollar service tip, and keep the 35 dollar tip that I left.

The bartender, who in hind sight was probably the one who handed me the check with the service charge on it, basically said it was my responsibility to look at the check and understand the bill. Fair, but still, the service was not worthy of a 55 dollar tip on a 120 dollar bill, and clearly they took advantage of me trying to get out of there quickly, and being tipsy.

She took my name and number saying she would hand it off to the manager, although I'm sure it immediately went in the trash because I never received a phone call and was charged what would equate to a 50% tip on the bill.

Again, never in my entire life, both as a server and patron of restaurants, have ever seen a service charge added to a 3-top. Avoid this place and go up the block to tortoise and hare, they have an unlimited brunch with staff who won't treat you like garbage and try to nickel and dime.
