Two stars is very generous.
Brunch, generally is the fastest turn time for tables, parties of two generally taking one hour to an hour and a half. I was here for a total of three hours with one other person. I went with a "chef friend" who I thought would enjoy sitting at the bar which overlooks the kitchen. Our server was the bartender and this was like a scene from Bar Rescue before that guy comes in and starts screaming at everyone to get their act together. There was alcohol spilled everywhere, she was soaking trays with spilled drinks, the bar was gross. She ordered drinks from us and they came about 20 mins later. I started off having the utmost sympathy for this poor person who is responsible for the six or so seats at the bar and making drinks for the entire brunch rush. My friend and I were seated without food for so long that a member of the kitchen verbally took our order from us because "we had been waiting so long".
Drinks were undrinkable, food was really yummy.
It was after three that we finally got to ask for our bill, and were the only table left from the brunch crowd. Our server (the bartender) was standing at a pos system chatting with another server when I asked for the machine after sitting with cards out for 15 mins, looking around helplessly for someone to take my money so I could get on with my life. Was I being given a unspoken free pass to dine and dash because service was so bad?
After asking for the machine she put it in front of me and walked away (I was expected to put in the cost amount myself?) I could have left her $2.00.
Of course service sucked during the rush sitting at the bar, but after everyone had fled? Did I miss a DIY aspect to service here before coming? Should I have brought a cafeteria tray and a hose to clean my own dishes? I'm still so puzzled.
The food was really yummy though so I'm in an emotional conflict if I should come back
