Visited Scratch for a late brunch Saturday. Very nice and cozy space and it was not busy when we arrived. We were seated right away near the back and set up with cutlery and water but this is where the glitch in service occurred.
We sat there for 20 mins before our waitress came back to take our order like they had forgotten about us. It may have been due to the large group who came in after who appeared to be friends or family with the wait staff and kitchen staff.
So we wave down our waitress and order the steak and eggs and the Fat Daddy pancake.
The pancake is enormous and very tasty. I'm not usually a fan of pancakes but this one passed the test. The edges were surprisingly crispy and it was not soggy in the middle. The poached pears added a nice tartness to balance out the sweetness of the maple syrup that was already added to the pancake when it arrived. Only thing would be I would ask for the butter on the side next time.
The steak and eggs were nice. Nothing bad to say, just a very typical brunch dish. The only complaint my boyfriend had was the portion was skimpy.
Overall, it's a nice brunch spot midtown. The lines are crazy and the food is good.
Will go back... Hopefully we won't get lost again in a crowd of their friends and family...
