| - I was skeptical at first when I read the not-so-good reviews, but unfortunately some of my fellow Yelpers are right -- ok food at best, but mediocre service for what's supposed to be a country club-esque establishment.
Let's start with the food. I got the fixed price brunch: cranberry juice to start, crabcake benedict main, and an apple cinnamon butter cake to finish. The homemade biscuits that came with the crabcake benedict were very dry, but I guess that's why there's all that runny egg yolk to go with it. The apple cinnamon butter cake, while a generous portion, was also way too sweet. I couldn't ask for enough tea to rinse that situation out.
The service left much to be desired. The gentleman who took care of us was gruff from the get-go. Shortly after we placed our orders I heard him complaining to his colleagues about something not related to work. OK, so maybe you're having a bad day...but please don't take it out on your customers/colleagues!
He was pretty blase the rest of the time we were there, and shortly after coming by to check in on our desserts (we weren't even half done), he proceeded to leave us with the bill. My friend had a coupon that she didn't even have a chance to present to him. So when she asked him about it, we got a "Oh, well then I guess I'll need to print you another bill." Way to state the obvious, my friend!! We never even asked for the first print of the bill to begin with. It wasn't like the place was packed and they needed the table back for another party.
To make matters worse, I heard him say "God help me" once right after he walked away from our table to reprint our bill, and once again right as he walked away after he processed our payments (!!!!!!!!!!!)
It was also the first time I ever had my credit card snatched out of my hand...I never thought it would happen here of all places. You don't need to roll out the red carpet for us, but some basic courtesy would have gone a long way.
So there you have it. Given all the dining options we have around town, I'm in no real rush to come back to this place. Save your time and money...it's not worth spending either here.
