I'm a bit puzzled by the rave reviews for this place. My friends love it as well so maybe my mediocre experiences are plain bad luck. But when the bad luck continues on the 5th and 6th visit, my goodwill runs out. First, the service is pretty indifferent. Example: the beers on tap rotate but the servers can't tell you what they are. You have to get up from your table and go see a chalkboard. I guess it's too much trouble to memorize 10 names or print a list every week and include it with the menu. In which case maybe you should be tipping me and not the other way around. Second issue, all too often it's amateur hour in their kitchen. I've had (on separate occasions) overcooked eggs, cold potatoes and a cheddar bacon pancake so burnt it was practically charcoal. Now even accepting that this place may shine on occasion (see all the glowing brunch reviews) I live a couple of blocks away and generally avoid Grapefruit Moon. It's just not worth the 50/50 risk of getting a sloppy mess served by a surly waitress.
