| - We tried out the Sunday brunch this past weekend.
I was hoping to improve upon my last 2 star rating of this place, but alas, no such luck. In fact, I am torn between one and two stars this time.
The experience:
We took our seats, and did not see a sign of a server at all (the seats were more in the corner, so not as visible as the main floor area).
After a significant amount of wait time, we proceeded to hit the buffet in advance of ordering drinks (this was one at a time, just in case the server ever decided to show).
With two separate trips to the buffet, and plates of food now on the table -- still no sign of our dear waitress. Which was an issue, as there was no sign of cutlery either.
We weren't the only ones. One table of three next to us had plates of food, and were sans cutlery as well.
Both tables could only stare longingly at the food, picking at what we could with our fingers.
After a couple of minutes, my brunch companion went on recon for cutlery, came back with a couple of sets, and then went on recon for the omelet ordering forms.
Meanwhile, with two sets of cutlery on my table, and myself sitting alone, the other table began eyeing them suspiciously:
"Are you going to use both of those???"
"Uh, yeah... there's two plates of food on the table."
But in a leg cast, and slow on crutches, I was afraid.
Finally, after one of us (the customer) doing all the serving for our table, someone on staff clued in, and our waitress appeared. She was fully attentive for the rest of the brunch.
It turns out, we learned, the Kilkenny actually ran out of cutlery, so perhaps the waitress was just in the fetal position hiding somewhere?
Anyhow, the buffet and the custom ordered omelet were actually pretty good, once we could eat it. So that's the only reason I went with 2 stars versus 1.
The rest wasn't forgivable, so no improvement this time around.
