Let’s start by saying we came here for drinks once and thought the bar and bartender were awesome so we couldn’t wait to try brunch here. (The two stars are solely for the drinks and bartender the night before ) we make a reservation - we show up for that reservation, we notice there is only one other table there with someone at it. Not deterred , we still sat down. The waiter , Dennis , walks over after a few minutes and says “you know what you want?” (Not hello, no pleasantries , but I’m sassy so I’m ok with that ) we ordered drinks and food. Specifically a blood orange mimosa and the Bloody Mary - the rising sun . We hear the table next to us ask for no garnish, but we ordered the drink because of the garnish which should have been a jumbo shrimp and house pickled green bean. Drinks come - no garnish. Food then comes (ordered a banana foster style waffle that was supposed to have walnuts and it did not come with them and I ordered the breakfast burrito that should have included a gravy in it - it was completely gravy-less)

While there we also watched the wait staff get visibility annoyed with a big table with whom they didn’t see ask the table of two next to them for one of their extra chairs. One waitress actually threw her hands up at the other staff after they noticed the big table having this extra chair. A few moments pass and our waiter walks over to the big table and just grabs the chair and places it back at the table of twos table. (Both tables are bewildered and the larger table argues that they have another coming and that they asked that table and Dennis walks away rudely.) after the person arrives to the large table and seat that was borrowed for him Dennis comes over to tell them he didn’t believe them.

While all this is happening a women who is hostessing at both where we are and Diego’s next door at the same time walks over to our table and asks my boyfriend his name. When we tell her , she says “well good , I’ll mark your name as here - instead of a no show “ and walks away . (We had booked on open table and we had told the bar when we walked in that we had a reservation so not exactly sure what prompted walking over and acting like that.

Overall, I have worked in many restaurants and bars - what this mornings experience felt like was that they had a early morning staff meeting where the manager told them things they didn’t want to hear and that they were all in a bad mood from that.

Sucks that on a holiday weekend in a vacation town that a wait staff couldn’t provide even the slightest of pleasantries for a simple brunch.
