| - Everything that has happened to Grapefruit Moon makes me sad. I live down the street, and I've been a regular for about three years. A couple of months ago, ownership changed. I don't know the details, but from what I gleaned, it seems like a hostile takeover between sisters. The old beloved owners and all the staff are out. New ones are in.
I went today for brunch. Service sucked. We were ignored for awhile, waiting about fifteen minutes for menus. There were three servers, but they were all pretty useless. My first coffee had curdled milk. They forgot cutlery. They forgot the beans on my Huevos Rancheros. They also switched out the normal wheat tortilla for two corn tortillas, which they didn't heat them up, so they were cold and hard. We had to go to the bar to pay our bill, as the servers kept running past us to the patio. Our experience there was not unique, as the other tables inside were equally as frustrated.
As we were leaving, my boyfriend noticed an additional $3 charge for a substitution that it always free of charge. He asked the server to remove it, which she refused. "We never do that," she replied. He explained that he had been eating brunch there every weekend for two years, and he had never been charged. "Fine," she said. "But we will never do that again."
And that's when we decided that we would never go there ever again. Thanks, new owners, for the hostile take over my favourite place and then running it into the ground.
