fierce76. had brunch here on 01/07/12 with my mother in-law, wife and 2 year old son. went here because we had heard good things about it. let me start with positives - the venue is beautiful and the kinda place you can go to for many different occasions - just a beer, brunch, dinner etc. thefoodwas ok (steak&eggs - worst i have had since arriving in the us 3 months ok - buts thats only because everywhere else i have tried is so much better) and the bloody mary's were the best i have ever tasted. negatives - the service - wow - it felt like we and guests on tables next to us were in an episode of fawlty towers - simply the worst service i have expierenced since coming and some of the worst anywhere i have ever had. how this place gets good write up's i do not know. the only place we have not tipped since coming - it was that bad!, from the manager all the way to the staff. everyone had bad attitudes (they were not understaffed on the day - if anything overstaffed) - how can people serve you this badly when they suppossedly rely on tipping here? spoke to a friend who lives close by to this place about our expierence and is from jersey - he said that he had been a while ago but would not go back because of the service also - said bad service might have been because we werent frequent patrons and so the mgnt and staff were probably less concerned as opposed to customers who are known. seriously i dont understand how this place has such a good rep. the mgnt and staff all need to be kicked out and people brought in who give a damn.
