| - Time to update my review after dining at Pizza Rock a 2nd time - this time for Sunday brunch.
On Sundays they now offer an "Acoustic" brunch, with live music. My friend and I arrived just about 1pm and there was about a 10 minute wait for a table (it's a pretty large place, so this kind of surprised me).
Once we were seated I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't see the actual performers, but oh well. We could hear him (them?) and it was decent.
It's a pretty standard brunch menu, but with a Pizza Rock spin on things. I had a tough time deciding between the eggs benedict and the meatball hash, but decided on the hash (wish I'd have gone with the bene). My friend ordered the french toast ambrosia. I had the bacon bloody mary ($10) and she ordered the bottomless mimosas ($10), which were either orange juice, passion fruit or mango flavored.
Now, I didn't have the best experience the last time I ate here, so I've been hesitant to return. Unfortunately, this time there were a couple of hiccups as well, but I am adding a star because these glitches were handled pretty well by our server.
So, my friend gets her food, but they don't bring my order. The runner looks at the ticket and says "looks like your meatball hash should be on the way." Now, I don't necessarily believe that they should be delivering one diner's order and leaving the other person without food, but they probably didn't want her food to sit in the window getting cold either.
When I received my food, it was cold. I am guessing that it was ready when the other order was brought out, but the runner missed it. Pretty disappointing, since I was starving - but I sent it back. The waitress was very apologetic. I wasn't upset, just hungry!
Since they were remaking my dish, the waitress brought a complimentary order of meatballs so I had something to snack on and didn't have to just sit there while my friend ate. I was very appreciative and this was a great move by her!
Once my food came out, it looked nothing like the 1st order. I think they had just messed up my original dish overall, because the 1st plate had no meatball, while the 2nd had tons of it. There was a noticeable difference. The meal itself was decent. I probably wouldn't order it again, I prefer the more traditional hash.
My friend LOVED her french toast ambrosia. It looked really good. Something like 4 slices of french toast, made from their house made foccacia bread, and topped with TONS of fruit - strawberries, berries, bananas and cinnamon whipped cream.
My bacon bloody mary was ok, but for $10 I don't think I would order it again. There was nothing really special about it. The $10 bottomless mimosas (or sangria) are a much better option. In fact, as it got closer to 2pm (when brunch ends), our server mentioned that she had the bartender make another pitcher of mango mimosa since my friend had not received any refills yet. She made sure that she got a few more refills, even after 2pm.
Overall, the service was good. Our server (Harmonie) was friendly and attentive and I appreciated that brought me complimentary meatballs when my dish was being remade. They also removed my meal from the bill, which wasn't expected, but much appreciated.
I am still on the fence about this place - both times I've been, there has been quite a few hiccups. They've been open long enough that there shouldn't be that many issues, but I know this stuff happens. I just wish it would stop happening to me so that I could simply enjoy a meal here! :)
