| - As a Regent Square local, I was excited when I learned a new restaurant was moving into Dunning's old spot. Even though I had heard nothing but disappointing things about Ease, I thought I'd try their brunch with an open mind. As soon as I walked into Ease I got an uneasy (lol) feeling. The white lighting, the extremely distasteful artwork, and the "modern" ambiance which made me feel like I was in a low-security prison made my heart drop to a place lower than hell. We were seated in a dark corner and went over the menu. I had picked out the Eggs Benedict and a Cucumber Falls cocktail and couldn't wait to try, but where were the servers? The Ease employees were extremely hard to identify as they had no consistent dress attire. We waited 5 minutes, then another 5, then another 5. Finally a woman came out of the back and made direct eye contact with one of the members of our group. She then proceeded to walk toward us, stop, clean a few dishes off a table, and then walk back into the back without saying a word to us. I would say this place had bad service, but there was literally no service. After waiting for 23 minutes (confirmed by a text I sent upon arrival) without seeing a smile or a friendly voice, we decided enough was enough. We walked out and down the street to the Square Cafe where we were seated immediately and ordered within minutes. Could not be more disappointed with this experience and highly recommend you don't waste your time. I would prefer Applebees relocate from the Edgewood Towne Centre into that spot. I still wouldnt go there, but at least every time I walked/drove by I wouldn't get a sour taste in my mouth, reminded of the discourteous and ignorant staff that ruined my Sunday afternoon.
