| - We decided to try Imani's Fusion Café out for brunch after hearing a lot of great reviews around town. Once we arrived there was only 5 people in the restaurant, so we received the full hands treatment displayed to us. Our server was Alexis, who was very friendly and showed tons of personality. She stated that we could sit anywhere and we took a booth seat. After reviewing the brunch menu, we decided on the fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, chicken & waffles, jerk shrimp with grits.
Once the appetizers came out Alexis stated to us that she made a mistake with our crab cakes by giving us the larger portions. She stated that we would love the mistake jokingly and said she would check back with us in a few. After trying the larger portion crab cakes, we both notice that they were a little under cooked and cold in spots. Which was a disappointment but we went on to the fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were ok, just was excepting more.
So on to our main courses and I must say I enjoyed my chicken and waffles but my lady thought the Jerk Shrimp & Grits was okay. She had to do a lot of work peeling the shrimp but I knew she wasn't going to complain because she was hungry. I shared some of my food with her and she also thought the Chicken from the Chicken and Waffles was good. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and saved the experience in my book.
Once Alexis brought the check out I noticed that the crab cakes that we were going to "love the mistake" for the larger portions we were charge $8.00 instead of $6.00. Not cool in my book especially when it was an error on the server and not us. So, our total came to $41.00 but don't think it was deserving of it. Maybe their lunch and general breakfast items are better than brunch but who's to say. Therefore, I gave it 3 of 5 stars, pluses where Alexis upbeat personality and the chicken.
