    Chicken Pesto Melt 8/10 Steak n' Eggs Quesadilla 6/10 Stuffed Mac n' Cheese Skillet 7/10
    Rosalenny V.

    The restaurant and the food is very cute and picturesque. However, the service was severely lacking considering there was little to no customers. Took forever to get our food and in addition to that after ordering the first time waiter had to come back to tell us that there was "no waffle mix" so 2/3 of us had to re check the menu in order to order new items. Had trouble with billing as well was charged extra for the Belgian waffles that were never given to us because they didn't have them in stock and was also charged extra for two additional drink that's were never brought to the table and never ordered.

    The drinks were awesome! The food was very tasty, and they had anything and everything our group could have wanted. Such an enjoyable Father's Day brunch! Small point...maybe turn the music down just a smidgen, a little hard to hear the waitress.

    I've heard a lot of good things about this place but was let down. Maybe it's the location? But I will start with the good. You can order by scanning a QR and are able to flip a little card on the table to get your waiters attention so that was nice for people who don't want to wait long. The atmosphere was chill and fun. There was an upstairs maybe that's where all the pics I've seen are from because the bottom was nothing crazy just a basic set up, maybe some bright coloring. It is Tiny inside the bottom floor also so I can't say for upstairs. They did make great looking fun drinks. We popped in for dinner so I ordered a BYO cheeseburger and it came out wrong. The simplest thing, cheese, on a cheeseburger with onion, both came without. Also they weren't that flavorful, or anything special about them at all. Sadly the fries kind of sucked also. The Mac and cheese was good, it kind of tasted like a box brand but it was still the best thing we had haha

    "Scrambled" eggs

    Pretty disappointed. Ordered scrambled eggs and so obviously they fried the egg and then just ripped it up. Fruit looked kinda meh. Drinks were fine. Pancakes were good but I ordered chocolate chip and they just kinda came on top. Edible, but that's a low bar. But still edible, so if you have no other options then its okay

    First off I'm not sure if this place is trying to be "club" like because it definitely comes off that way. Service was odd with the customer having to put up a card to get service. Which is fine but the service was not doing their part. They were nice though and the manager was attentive a bit as well. So maybe they just opened. The food was okay. Nothing exciting and also our order was wrong. The eggs didn't have cheese in them and our side of guacamole was missing. No butter for the bread is an odd accident. Asked for that afterwards. The main concern we had were the explicit words all over the brick pillars in the main entry bar area. Not a family friendly place.

    The ambiance, food and service were pure perfection. Our waiter Isaiah was so sweet and enhanced our experience. If you are near New Haven this is a must!

    Very fun for your classic over the top bottomless brunch with friends. It's loud so you can bring little kids too. Service wasn't smooth but they were fairly new when we went so I'm sure better now. Food was good and the bottomless brunch deal is good. Lots of fun things on the menu like cookies and cream pancakes and loaded fries. Also fun photo ops around and they had a dj on Saturday.

    Nashville Chicken Sandwich

    Food and drinks looked so extravagant on their menu but when it came out it was just okay. I specifically ordered the maple walnut latte because the image looked so pretty on the menu. When it came out it just looked messy and a little lackluster. The drink also just tasted like a regular coffee with piece of walnut tossed into the drink. I got the nashville hot chicken burger which was also a disappointment. The entire burger just tasted like pickled cabbage and the chicken patty was thin and tasted nothing like nashville hot chicken. It was just a tiny chicken patty that was smeared in hot sauce. I was also confused about the seating situation. I didn't have a reservation and accepted bar seating for a party of two. But when we sat down, up until we finished eating, there were so many tables in the restaurant that were empty. Not sure why we couldn't sit a regular table. Maybe people just didnt show up to their reservation.

    My niece was in NH and she wanted to meet for lunch. I suggested "The Pace 2B." It was a little after 12pm, so we met up and went inside and the first thing I saw two skeletons and one yellow duck sitting on the bench across from hostess station. To make a long story short, the lattes were not great, you need to ask for sweetener. The espresso shot was drip coffee. I ordered a garden salad with Italian dressing, it was okay until I saw the lettuce was brown. I also ordered the mad macaroni and cheese burger with bacon and all the fixings. When it came out it look popping but as I looked at it, the burger was dry and cheese and Mac was cold like the burger. I was ready to munch that burger down. So the whole meal was a wash! My niece asked for the manager and she came out straight faced no apologies and let my niece tell our situation. She listened and just said, " you all are go and thank you. I thought she would offer us something else on the menu. We were not ready to leave but, okay! I would have love to stayed and tried something else but I think I'm good for now. Very nice place inside and upstairs must be where they hold their events. The outside needs to be cleaned and the vines hanging on the outside needs to be fixed. This place has a lot of potential just the right management or restaurant consultant to show them the way. The server that was being trained was the best, please tip her well!

    My husband & I had already eaten so we stopped in The Place 2 Be New Haven for drinks. My husband ordered the new fashioned that came with Makers Mark (which we did not realize). When ordering it was required to pick an alcohol and he chose Jameson. For $21.00 it was a small drink. With both types of alcohol it was at least strong. The presentation of my Iced Hazelnut Latte was beautiful. It was funny to us that La La Latte was written on my tray as my nieces and nephews call me LaLa. The food options sound really good so we hope to get back to New Haven soon to try the food.

    This Angry Pepper does not give a lot of 6 stars so here we go... The two most basic things which is coughing, and the bread were executed perfectly. The presentation of the copy was really nice. And that Italian bread was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of butter. I normally don't finish my bread, but it was unbelievable.!! The presentation of the omelette with the nice greens on top was such a nice touch. The ambience was very nice. The music was a little loud, but that's OK. It woke me up for a Sunday morning. I will definitely come back. If you are feeling a little religious, and want to thank God for a great breakfast just walk across the street to the church which is also very beautiful. - there you go 2 reviews in 1. --- "so states the Angry Pepper!!"

    The Place 2 Be is a trendy restaurant with two floors. They have drinks with little yellow ducks floating on top, or the toppings drizzled along the outside of your glass or cup. They are all about the presentation. You don't have to wait for someone to take your order because you scan on a QR code to order, and if you want service you hold up a card. We ordered a build your own omelette with cheddar cheese, onions, peppers, and spinach. Came with home fries, and wheat toast. Churro French Toast was challah bread duster with cinnamon sugar, topped with churro buttercream, white and milk chocolate drizzle,and dulce de leche drizzle. The omelette was decent, but the Churro French Toast was way too sweet. They don't serve regular coffee so the closest thing is a Americano consisting of shot of espresso with hot water, and they don't have decaf coffee.

    The vibes were immaculate and the staff was great! I do recommend going online and adding yourself to the wait list because when we got there they said almost a two hour wait - insane! However, I do think it is worth it for the experience. Once we got there we were greeted by the lovely staff and a dj booth. Not sure if the dj is an everyday thing or we just got lucky but they played great music and got everyone excited for the boozy brunch ahead. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and danced and hyped up everyone there. Bottomless refills also came fast! The food was also very delicious! Could recommend almost anything on their menu. Like any other Place 2 Be location, don't forget to take pictures before leaving!
