A group of six of us decided to visit Braised on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. It is situated in a difficult spot, sandwiched between Joy, Lil Baci and the ever popular Lady Marmalade.
We arrived just after 1pm and were seated in the quiet restaurant not long after. We had our orders taken and we waited patiently for our food, very patiently in fact. Finally at 2.45pm after a couple of weak promises we couldn't hold out any more and left hungry.
The main disappointment was not in the waiting time for the food, but the simple lack of courtesy surrounding that fact. If during our wait we had been offered a comp on our drinks, an appetiser or even a board game we would have happily waited even longer as apparently the food is quite good.
As a result of the poor service and the lack of ownership in these issues, I would suggest avoiding Braised. There are some fantastic food options in the area, literally next door for example.
