| - I was so rooting for this place to do well. The week that it opened, I was so excited to get a flyer with its brunch menu that sounded unbelievable - finally, a better option than By The Way Cafe!
I walked into this place, which was completely empty except for some regulars or friends of the owner sitting at the bar, chatting with the owner. No greeting, no hello, no anything. My friend and I sat ourselves at a table that was clean, but not set up. There were empty tables all around us, but many were not even cleared of dirty plates! It took forever to get our sandwiches and when we got them, they were so blah and bland and overpriced. The menu definitely sounded better on paper than in reality.
I've been to this bar/restaurant (what the heck is it?) many many times since not because I like it there, but because my friends used to play their music there weekly. The service was always terrible (a waiter would reguarly bum smokes off of patrons), the food was always bad...if not for the people playing music and promoting their night, the place would be empty! I went in on an odd night after the bands quit playing there because the Labyrinth was closed for a private party. I walked in and looked around, thinking the place was closed. It was open, but dead quiet and not one person inside besides the bartender.
So sad! This place has so much potential to BE something in the annex. The owner needs to decide what this place is and commit to a vision of some kind. It's all over the place and never consistent. Terrible.
So sad!
