we stopped in for Sunday brunch around noon. our party of 4 was seated immediately. that's a big plus considering it's usually a pretty busy time at most brunch spots.
the atmosphere is nice. casual but with nice character. the painted tin ceiling is really nice.
I have to say the food was good but not great. and the service was just pretty bad.
our waitress was very very nice. it was just soooo sloooow. and there was no acknowledgment of it at all.
our server took our drink order a minute or two after we sat down and brought that out pretty quickly. then we waited for 20 more minutes before seeing her again to place our order. after we ordered, we waited 30 minutes for our food to come. so by this time we'd been there for 50 minutes just for brunch food.
I had the combo. which consisted of stuffed french toast and eggs benedict. the french toast was good. it was nicely cooked and had a nice almond flavor. but my eggs benedict was completely cold. I'm not exaggerating at all. not lukewarm. not slightly cold. completely cold. super disappointing after waiting 50 minutes for it.
maybe we just had a bad experience. I don't know. I wish I could say I'd give it another try, but I just don't think it'd be worth it. there are so many other great brunch spots in cle. maybe save west end for drinks and hanging out.
