| - So, the 2 start rating in "Yelp-ese" is "Meh, I've experienced better" and that is exactly how I feel about this place. The boyfriend and I were looking for a brunch place we hadn't tried before and this is one we probably won't return to. We arrived and were seated in the "lounge area" aka, the bar. There was one or two other couples there as well. I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Quail (which came with Blueberry sauce and Buckwheat johnny cakes) and he ordered the Walnut French Toast. We also ordered a basket of "Maw Maw's Biscuits" and two coffees. To start, the coffee was very good. It was French Press though so you really only got a 6oz cup, but it was very good. Two out of the three biscuts were tough and dry, but when each biscuit cost $2 each, they better be the best biscuts i'd ever tasted, so our meal was already off to a not so hot start. The Walnut French toast was quite good and the portion was huge, two people could easily split. The Johnny cakes that came with my meal were good, the quail was bland, and I had to ask for salt and pepper as there wasn't any on the table. All in all, our bill came to $48 before tip. I don't think that the brunch at this place was worth what we paid for for it. From now on, I'm sticking to Terrace Cafe, at least if i'm going to pay $50, the food will be good enough to be worth it.
