| - I have had brunch at Sweet Melissa about 4 times prior to today, and after my experience today, I am not sure I will go back. My friend and I went there for brunch after a run and we arrived at 12:40. We were informed that they stopped serving brunch at 1, but if we sat at the bar we would be able to eat brunch, as the wait for a table was to long (this is not a big deal, and I enjoy sitting at the bar). When we got to the bar, we asked the bartender for a menu and she responded, "they should have given you one when you walked in" and she walked away. She came back several minutes later, gave us the menu and my friend asked about the specials and she pointed and said "its on the board". She then came back and said, "if you want brunch you have 3 minutes to order". We got up and left, she responded with a "sorry" as we walked out.
I understand that you may stop serving brunch at a certain time, but there are so many ways to handle this issue and be professional about it. I also understand that the place is crowded, but don't roll you eyes and act as if your customers are a burden. This was my friend's first time there and she will never go back. We ended up going to the Tap House in Tremont, sat at the bar and had great food and service!
