If I could give zero stars, I would, and that's entirely because of the hostess (who appeared to…read morepossibly be a manager or owner).
I had an 11AM reservation for two. When I arrived I stood near the hostess stand since there wasn't much space due to others waiting. The hostess looked directly at me, so I began to give my name and mentioned the reservation. Her immediate response: "umm, what?"
Assuming it was just loud, I repeated myself and clarified, "for two." She snapped back, "the 9 top?" I said, "no, just two." That earned me an eye roll and a "just hold on" before she walked away. No acknowledgment, no basic courtesy, just attitude. A few minutes later, she returned with a flat "come this way," and started walking to a table.
I let that entire interaction go, assuming it was just a chaotic, loud brunch rush.
My friend arrived shortly after, and we waited about 15-20 minutes with no menus or server. Not ideal, but manageable. We were catching up. When our waitress did come over, she was great. Super friendly, attentive, and the only reason this experience wasn't a complete loss. Food came out quickly, and overall we were there for about an hour, which is completely reasonable for brunch.
Then the hostess made sure to leave a lasting impression.
The second our plates were cleared, she reappeared, dropped the check on the table with a sharp "here," and walked away. No check-in, no "how was everything," no offer for another coffee; just a not-so-subtle message that our time was up. We left it there and continued talking while finishing our drinks.
A few minutes later, she came back and said, "ladies, I really need this table.. you need to leave, I have a huge wait."
There's efficient table management, and then there's whatever that was. We had been there just over an hour, while other tables around us had clearly been seated longer. If the goal was to move guests along, mission accomplished, but at the cost of any professionalism or basic hospitality.
It was, without exaggeration, one of the most unnecessarily rude and poorly handled interactions I've had in a restaurant. Not rushed, but dismissed. As we walked out there was one couple standing there waiting. I looked around the corner to see if there was anyone else waiting- there wasn't.
Food was fine- forgettable, honestly. And with that kind of front-of-house experience, there's absolutely no reason to come back.
