Went here for Mother's Day brunch after reading fabulous reviews. The restaurant was completely packed. The tables were practically situated on top of each other, leaving no privacy between you and your neighbors. I'm not sure if the restaurant is always setup in this manner, or if they brought in more tables for Mother's Day. Either way, this made for a slightly uncomfortable dining experience. Also, with each table packed, it was quite loud in the restaurant, making conversation a bit difficult.
The food was solid, but nothing to rave about. The dishes ordered at my table included: bangers & eggs, the belgian waffle, quiche du jour (crab and asparagus), and the Dublin Lawyer. The quiche was probably the favorite dish of the table as it was simply loaded with crab. The bangers & eggs and belgian waffle were nothing special at all. The Dublin Lawyer was well-liked, but was unfortunately an unsatisfying portion size. The side of fruit served with one of the dishes was very disappointing: a mix of cantaloupe, honeydew, and pineapple that tasted like it was purchased precut at a local grocery store.
The service was slow, but that's to be expected on a busy occasion. However, the poor attitude of the staff members was irritating. I don't think our waiter ever cracked a smile, and the woman refilling the water glasses was downright snippy.
I'd definitely like to try Nighttown again during the evening when I can catch a performance. I have a feeling that's the best time to pay this place a visit.
