| - Went with a friend for brunch. We arrived just as the Wine Room was opening. Based on the on-line menu, I was looking forward to trying the Chicken and Waffles. Although I was the fourth person overall to order this morning, they were out of Chicken and Waffles*...so, I ordered my second choice, Eggs Benny. The menu described it as a biscuit topped with corned beef, an egg, Guinness and cheddar cheese sauce with some shaved potatoes on top.
What I got was not what I expected. It was served barely warm and the sauce had already begun to skin over, there was no corned beef...instead it was roast beef...and the amount of shaved potatoes would not have equalled a thin slice of a teeny, tiny baby potato. The Guinness and cheddar sauce was brown, cold and bitter. When the meal was delivered, we were asked if we wanted salt and pepper to which my friend and I just gave a blank stare as neither of us had even tried a bite. It wouldn't have mattered if we did as they didn't know where the shakers were.
The only reason I gave it two stars is because of the ambience of the Wine Room. I doubt, however, that I will ever be back as there are so many other, much better, places to have brunch.
* I just want to make this perfectly clear, I was the first person today to order the first thing on their menu and THEY WERE OUT!! Obviously, they don't prepare for each day separately.
