Absolutely phenomenal brunch! Truly everything on the menu is ten out of ten!
The short ribs were so tender you didn't need a knife! The grits were super creamy and paired well with the crab, the ricotta pancakes were the fluffiest most addicting pancakes and arguably our favorite thing on the menu. I feel like there was so much attention to detail in each dish we tried. The menu did a great job of having variety without having an overwhelming amount of choices and everything was reasonably priced.
I came here years ago and it was not nearly as good. The new executive chef and new menu has now made this our go to place! -
I have no problem spending $ on a good restaurant and good food. This bill was $175.
All good except $19 for a Jack Daniel’s Manhattan? Too high. It’s the cheapest booze on their bar! I hate paying to much for cheap stuff. See the attached bill. $12+$4+$3. What is that? -
went here Saturday before a show at DPAC. it was uncomfortably warm as if the AC was broken. we started with the “local cheese plate,” which was fine. it came with a small selection of 3-4 cheeses, a couple grapes, some fruit spread, and literally six crackers. for $32 it would have been nice if there was a bit more variety in flavors/textures (i.e. nuts or meats etc). my sister ordered a pasta dish, i ordered the burger, and we ordered 2 sides to split. food took nearly an hour. 1 side never came, the other was cold, as was my sister’s pasta. my burger and fries were fine but not particularly impressive; i would not order it again.
also of note, the table beside us was a mother and child, they arrived half an hour before us/ordered before we sat down. i somehow received my burger before the child did, despite us ordering the same thing. i don’t think they ever received their food despite waiting over an hour — maybe left with a to-go box for the child’s food as they were going to the show as well. due to the variety of issues, we did get a discount on our bill at the end, which was appreciated.
one highlight, the cocktails were great! however, i would expect them to be great at nearly $20/drink. -
What a cool place! History, art, delicious cocktails and food. Great place for a business dinner or a fun night out. The restrooms were also memorable. -
Every year I stay in a hotel nearby and visit different places. This is my second time coming here for their fabulous breakfast. I recommend this place for a nice brunch or breakfast. The hostess and servers are pretty cool and patient. My server this time was Lef he was patient, kind, and attentive. Thank you for all you do. Keep it up and I will be back again.
