Hot honey chicken sandwich is a generous portion but boy is it a sticky-delicious mess! Cucumber/tomato/feta side was refreshing, too. Grilled chicken bacon ranch with okra to my left received a tasty report, thought it actually looked a bit messier due to all the ranch! We enjoyed ourselves for sure! Minus one star for the annoying flies and little bugs that bite! To eat outside or not to eat outside - that is the question!

The quality of food has gone down significantly. I've given them multiple chances before updating…read moremy review. I'm not sure if they have an incompetent kitchen staff or new management. I don't think they clean their grill regularly , there have been multiple instances where the burger came out burnt with grill residue on it. Most recent visit, ordered a chipotle chicken stack sandwich with no butter on bread and crispy fries. The order came out with bread soaked in oil, soggy fries and chicken tenders, and no chipotle sauce. They took at back to fix it. Came back out with again no chipotle sauce, soggy fries and tenders. I'm highly disappointed in deteriorating quality of food and service. I used to go there atleast once a week. I don't think i will ever go back!!

It was a little hot on the day we went, but there was plenty of indoor seating with great views for those who didn't want to brave the heat. The views were wonderful!! The sun set over a (granted, kind of unsightly) building on the horizon and we got to watch the colors reflect on all of the buildings on the skyline. The drinks were fantastic and quite unique, and the food was excellent as well. The only issue I'd raise is the inconsistent kitchen timing, which sometimes can't be helped. We had a great time, got some nice pictures, and made wonderful memories!!

The moment you step off the elevator you can see the spectacular view. You have the option of shaded patio or direct sun. The service was great! His recommendations on food and drinks were on point. The new cocktail menu has so many amazing options! They put a unique twist on every drink and it's perfection! The Brazilian lemonade had a creamy sweet taste, so delicious. Also, the pretzel bites and chicken bites were tasty. I recommended getting the chicken bites tossed in lemon dry pepper rub and dipping in Thai chili sauce. I will be back again at sunset to enjoy the beautiful view!!

We were staying at the Hyatt on a Friday night and decided to stop in for dessert and a drink. It…read morewas around 10pm and we wanted to sit outside but there was no one at the hostess stand, inside was relatively empty and a few available tables outside. Asked at bar and they asked if we needed wait-service. We said "no", assuming they were short-staffed or whatever, ordered at the bar and brought our stuff outside ourselves. Bar service was fast, old fashioned was perfectly acceptable, and dessert was ok too. (some key lime pie type thing in a mason jar). Overall, decent and we enjoyed ourselves, but certainly not exceptional service, drinks or food. Nothing memorable there. View is decent from the rooftop of downtown. Definitely check it out if in the area but don't go out of your way. I would give 3.5 stars if I could.....

Pains me to give a less-than-five-star review, but it was unavoidable…read more Stars for the view and quality of the food. Poor marks for service. We stopped in for brunch at 11:15am on a Saturday . Wasn't approached about a drink until 11:25am, and our food didn't come until closer to 11:55am. That would have been okay, but we were one of only 5 tables in the entire place. And when we had to split the bill 3 ways, each of us got different bills ($32, $38, and $40) even though we asked for an even split. Not super attentive here, so if you don't mind waiting around, this might be okay with you?

Bruma Just Became My New Brunch Go-To!…read more I went to Bruma in Wake Forest for a solo brunch date after hearing some mixed reviews, and after my experience I genuinely want to know--what did y'all order?! Because Bruma absolutely did not disappoint. I went on a Thursday morning right when they opened, so it was peaceful and uncrowded. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by smiling faces. The décor is absolutely beautiful, and I was seated beside a window where the morning sunlight made the whole experience even better. My waitress was incredibly sweet and started me off with a selection of Mexican sweet breads. Naturally, I couldn't resist the strawberry concha. The surprise came with the first bite--it was warm! Soft, lightly sweet with just enough strawberry and the perfect hint of cinnamon. Such a simple touch, but SO good. Then came Abuela's Mocha. Listen...that warm, caramel-filled churro on top? I would order this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I also had the fresh watermelon & lime juice, which was bright, refreshing and actually tasted fresh--not overly sweet or artificial. For my main, I ordered the steak and eggs, and they did not come to play with the portion size! Everything was beautifully presented, the steak was flavorful, and the entire plate hit every note. Between the beautiful atmosphere, genuinely warm service, fresh drinks, generous portions and food that actually delivered on flavor, one brunch was all it took for Bruma to earn a spot in my rotation. My solo brunch date was a complete success, and I'm already thinking about what I'm ordering next. Bruma, I'll be back.

It's so cute inside and outside with plenty of seating. It has all the aesthetics for the perfect picture. I wish I would have taken more pictures. I was seated right away and our server was great! The manager and the server came by a few times throughout our meal to check in on us which was nice. They have an expansive food menu with so many yummy looking options (there are pictures of some of the menu items). They also have a nice drink menu, from coffee to cocktails. We both decided on breakfast options. I had the Tres Leches pancakes and my friend had the Crème Brulee French Toast. The presentation was lovely. We both enjoyed every bite of our food. I do wish it came with a side, but it was filling either way. I'll be heading back soon to try more of their menu items.

We went for…read moretwo friends birthday, and they did some shots for the table on the house as well as a really delicious cake. The cake was hands-down the best thing I had to eat by far. The staff really get into celebrating the birthdays, and that part was really fun! However, it took close to an hour for the server to ask us for a food order - including appetizers. Service was around a 3.5, friendly but slow. We wanted to start with the dip trio, but after waiting about 55 minutes from when we sat down, we had to flag down our waitress and ask if we could put in the order. She then came back to take the regular food order, not leaving a whole lot of time between the dip coming out and our food coming out. The dip trio was OK, the queso was the best part. I'm not sure if the dip was supposed to be a cold dip or a hot dip, but it was like a lukewarm. I got the chicken and steak fajitas, which I would give a 2.5 out of five. The meat was a bit chewy. Overall I'd give the food a 3. The drinks were a bit too sugary and not well balanced--more filler than alcohol--so I'd give them a 2 (tried a sip of friends, the house marg, mango marg, and drink that comes in a little bathtub). It's a really nice spot for a party/celebration atmosphere, could be very fun for a bday, but you'll need some patience and to keep your expectations at bay for food. They also add a 3% credit card fee when using card, which I personally dislike. In general, I don't tend to patronize businesses that do that.

It never came. After waiting, we had to flag down a server walking by, who eventually brought one--only for it to be broken. It then took another 10 minutes before we finally got a functional highchair. Throughout the visit, the staff seemed far more interested in talking amongst themselves than actually paying attention to guests. The overall atmosphere felt disorganized, inattentive, and unprofessional. The worst part came after we left. I realized almost immediately that I had left my wallet behind and called right away. Instead of any sense of urgency or willingness to help, the host who answered was incredibly rude and dismissive. Before I could fully explain the situation, she cut me off and told me to "call back tomorrow." When I tried to quickly describe the wallet--color, contents, anything that might help--she hung up on me mid-sentence. Considering I called almost immediately after leaving and was brushed off so quickly, it raises serious concerns about whether any real effort was made to locate it. I would hope any establishment would take something like that seriously. Between the lack of attention, the disorganization, and the way a simple, time-sensitive situation was handled, this place clearly has serious issues with customer service. I won't be back.
