Hen Quarter Prime — Restaurant in Washington

Very nice resturaunt. The aesthetics, the cleanliness, the view, the location, the space -I give it 100. The variety of food was great. The cheesy grits were chef's kiss amazing! Most places can't seem to get it right. The food on the actual bar is great but ordering from the back not so great. Everyone at my table also ordered omlettes. The omlettes were flavorless and filled with veggies. That can be a good or bad thing. If you are health conscious, then you will like them. It was as if they cooked the veggies and just added to the omlette with no seasoning at all. Everyone sent it back. Also the collards for me were heavy in vinegar- too tart I couldn't eat them. They had a waffle maker at the buffet table which was cool. I ordered french toast instead and they were just average/ok at best. The most shocking thing was the silver dollar pancakes. The menu does not describe the pancakes as "silver dollar".My husband loves pancakes so he ordered a stack and as you can see in the picture this is what was delivered lol. Pre frozen microwavable pancakes hard around the edges. That, to me, was insult. The buffet alone is $70 per person and drinks are of course are separate. For a semi fine dining resturaunt of that caliber to fail in serving tiny microwavable pancakes is absurd. How do you service crablegs and frozen microwavable pancakes in the same location. The waitress confirmed they were packaged and microwaved which explains why they were hard around the edges. Will I go again?- indeed I will, however I will not eat off the menu and I will have the waffle guy to make me a waffle since it's included in the buffet and it's fresh. Nice spot but definitely need to work on some things. Our bill was $195. We had the buffet that is $70 per person. I orderd an orange juice and french toast, he ordered the pancakes and an alcoholic beverage. We were with a group so the gratuity was 20%. The location is on the water and it's a beautiful place.
