| - After the great food Six Penn offered at the Yelp Elite event we expected a great brunch experience. Boy were we in for a surprise.
I'll dive right in. The muffins were cold and bland, couldn't tell what kind of muffins they were. The accompanying "Apple butter" tasted like nothing more than apple sauce with a ton of cinnamon added.
We had elected to try a bunch of appetizers for our meal. If even one of them had been edible it would have earned this place a second star. I hate giving 1 star reviews, but this one was deserved.
The appetizers were had were:
Deviled eggs - A terrible mix of flavors, seemed to have everything but the kitchen sink in it. Did not work together at all.
Spring Rolls with Sriracha sauce - The dish came to our table without the "sauce". When we asked for it, we discovered the "sauce" was merely sriracha from a bottle poured into a cup. (we saw them pour it). Rolls themselves were bland and unremarkable.
Sausage Grits - I'm not a fan of grits, but my wife loves them, so I'll defer to her opinion on these... which was summed up as "These are inedible. They don't taste like anything."
Tempura fried bacon - Dry and unseasoned. Couldn't even taste the bacon. How do you make bacon not taste good? Truly a sad day. I was really looking forward to this one.
Boston cream beignets - When served at our table, they were already cold. They might have tasted better if they were fresh, but after one bite each, we'd had enough of Six Penn. Alas I don't think we'll be returning, a shame, because I really wanted to like the place.
I know they are capable of making good food, I had it at the elite event. Knowning that and being served this just makes me sadder... and earns them a one star rating.
