| - After a good dinner at Zebra a couple months ago, we were excited to try their brunch. Unfortunately, brunch was a HUGE disappointment and I doubt we'll be making any future visits.
First thing first... Service was awful. Granted, there were only 2 servers tending the entire place, but there were also only 8 or so occupied tables. The place was dead. That should have been our first warning sign.
We asked for some explanations of the menu. Simple things like, "What fruit comes with the French toast?" and sent our waiter into a complete tailspin. Once we managed to get our order placed, we waited almost an hour for the food to arrive. While we waited, our water and coffee glasses sat empty. When we finally begged refills from the host as he passed our table after seating someone else, the coffee refill was room temperature.
When the food came, it all got worse. My dish was missing the bacon promised in the description and the potatoes were so undercooked and under seasoned they were inedible. My dad asked for the egg on his burger to be cooked all the way through and stressed NO runny yolk. The minute he cut into it, yolk ran everywhere. He sent it back to the kitchen where someone obviously wiped off the yolk from the bun and burger and slapped on a new, over hard egg. My boyfriend's $19 truffle burger was a disgrace. Flavorless and over cooked. The fries were the only tasty thing on the table.
They get 2-stars instead of just one because my mom enjoyed her French toast.
Seriously, Zebra. If you can't do brunch well, just stay closed. (And, judging from other reviewers, you REALLY cannot do brunch well.) It's a shame you ruined our decent dinner experience. You're loosing customers with this shoddy Sunday service!
