| - I'm quite torn about my review for this place. We had some super yummy food, some just ok. Cool vibe in the place, but pretty bad service. I think that puts me somewhere in the middle.
Jim G. and I posted up at the bar for some Saturday afternoon brunch. Our server, Mallory, came over to get a drink order. Jim G. was famished so he also started us with some Deviled Eggs right away.
The Deviled Eggs came out and were tasty. The portion, while only being 4 eggs, is huge, since the 'deviled' part is piled might high! It took close to 20 minutes to get Mallory's attention so that we could order our actual food. Sitting at the bar, we would've expected it to be much easier to get someone. Sadly, she was at the other end of the bar talking with another bartender or someone.
When we did order, we got the Fried Chicken, Watermelon, and Waffles. Huge portion! We shared half a friend chicken! The chicken was super good. It was very moist and the meat had great flavor. I do believe the oil could have been a tiny bit hotter, so that it'd be a bit less greasy, but it was still good. The spiced watermelon was awesome! The waffles, however, were a bit of a letdown. Seemingly lacking in real flavor and not all that crisp. They made me want the waffles at Bouchon!
We had lots of other time basically getting ignored by Mallory and had to flag down someone else for more drinks and, eventually, our check. The getting ignored at the bar was especially detrimental to our ability to enjoy our time there. Mallory, another bartender, and what looked like a manager spent about 15 minutes seemingly deciding where to put bourbon bottles on display. Perhaps it's better in the main dining room, but my experience is usually that sitting at the bar is the way to go.
If I ate more carbs, I might be more willing to go back to try them again. As it is, I'm not so sure.
