Maybe I don't get it? This place is the definition of ok. Like the best restaurant at an airport.
A friend and I had brunch here a few weeks ago. There was no wait, an unexpected treat when there is a two hour wait at Graze.
The coffee was good, the bloody mary was good. My friend had an craft cocktail, with gin and hibiscus - also good. Our food was, you guessed it, good! I had the short rib sandwich, which, and this is fine, although you should just know, is quite literally just that. As in when you order this, you will receive a plate with only a sandwich on it. It's a great sandwich, it'll be ok. My friend had salmon Benedict - which was good. She noted that the eggs were perfect.
Our service was good - another reviewer called it Laissez-faire and that is pretty spot on. It wasn't exactly inattentive service... somewhere between not giving a **** and anticipating needs, albeit 5-10 minutes after they occur. And no, it was not busy.
The ambience... so yeah, I just don't get it. It's super plain. Like classy plain, but still very nondescript. I looked for things to like, but came up short. I liked that I wasn't sitting in a bank entry way for two hours in the cold (sorry Graze). But seriously, this place could be anywhere. Nothing notable.
The music was hilariously bad when we were there... not a knock, just worth mentioning. Michael Bolton happened.
A couple people mention the great lighting. The lighting must be different for dinner? Wait, I've been here for drinks and apps in the evening. I probably just don't get it. I mean, it's good lighting, but not at the level of something to mention.
