Popped by there for brunch last Sunday. As it was almost 4 the hostess said we should order at the bar just to make sure we got the brunch order in before she seated us. The woman at the bar was incredibly rude and told us to just go sit down and we'd be served when the server came over. I tried to explain to her what the hostess had told us but she was having none of it. The hostess was really apologetic and said she'd get a server straightaway. Our server turned up and promptly legged it as soon as he gave our menus. He turned up 10 minutes later when it was actually just p past 4. He then told us we couldn't order so I told him in no uncertain terms that we were seated during brunch and we asked for it straightaway and he had disappeared for 10 minutes. The restaurant wasn't busy in the slightest. He then went to the kitchen and the kitchen said they would do brunch. I had a goat cheese omelette with arugula which was bland and I asked for a side of toast which turned up with no butter. They don't keep salt and pepper on the table. I asked our original server for salt which I never received. The only reason I got butter is because I asked another server who stated I had to wait for our server. I was pretty insistent so she got me some. The place had five tables full out of twenty so I'm not sure why it was so hard to be served. My friend ordered an espresso and asked for it twice and never received it. The table next to us was being fawned over, probably because they had ordered more. I never not leave a tip but neither of us did. We wrote our reasons on the receipt and left. I'm not sure how this place is still open. Mediocre food, terrible service - the only saving grace is its location and decor itself.
