rumours east, inc.

brunch very underwhelming. i can usually ignore sub-par service if the food is outstanding, but when the food is bad and the service is bad, it makes for a bad experience. my family dined here for fathers day brunch and none of us were pleased. i had the fritatta of the day, tomato and summer squash. it was flavorless and the fried potatoes that accompanied it were bland as well. my wife had the shrimp and grits, which may have been worse than the fritatta. it also arrived over 10minutesafter the rest of our food. the sauce was very oily and the grits were grainy. bread is not served with meals, but rather sold as a side item for $5. we ordered 2 baskets of bread and they brought 6 pre-made dinner rolls to the table with 2 small pads of butter. we did however enjoy their bloody marys and mimosas. i will not be likely to return to rumors, and definitely not for brunch.

marginal food, awful service. my girlfriend and i had been to rumors for a glass of wine a couple of times, so we thought we would try the food. it took 20minutesfor the waiter to inform us that they were out of the appetizer we had ordered, and another 30minutesfor a replacement to arrive at our table. i ordered the sirloin and it was quite overdone when it arrived well over an hour after we had sat down. my girlfriend had the seafood pasta which resembled something you would expect from olive garden, not a small place in east nashville. they were obviously understaffed, and it showed. long story short, we may stop back for a glass of wine, but i dont think we will be dining there anytime soon.
