Sarah De Felice Review of Cunninghams Restaraunt and Cat...
We dined on Easter for brunch and I hate to say it...
We dined on Easter for brunch and I hate to say it but I was extremely disappointed. I finally convinced my husband to agree to an Easter brunch and we invited extended family to join us. The $35 price tag for a lunchtime brunch was steep but we assured our party that Cunningham's has amazing food and it would be worth every penny. From the beginning I was a little bummed that we were sat in the back room at a WOBBLY folding table. The back room has ZERO ambiance compared to the main dining room. The wonky table and lackluster dining room were just bummers but not deal breakers. The service, however, did suffer and we felt disconnected and kind of forgotten. Our reservation was for 2:30 and the changeover from morning brunch to the dinner buffet was 4:00. It was obvious that the manager on duty was purposefully trying to run down the food at the buffet as trays were empty or very low. I asked for several items to be replenished, which they were, and the manager did tell me to let him know what else I needed. It made me feel like a big pain to keep asking for things to be brought out. The food should have been well stocked and fresh for the duration. The avocado salmon toast was plentiful on the tray but all completely brown. There was plenty of steamed shrimp, but it was not sitting on ice and was room temperature. I was also surprised that it was not deveined (something I only feel comfortable complaining about because of the price tag). The kid's food was a nice touch but was terrible as the fries and tenders had clearly be sitting for hours. In all, I thought the food was mediocre in quality and quantity of options for the price. The dessert options were lame - cookies, brownies, scones - nothing note-worthy in the least. The final straw was when I visited the ladies room and every stall (except one which was FILTHY and unusable) was out of toilet paper. This is EASTER brunch and you are charging for a top quality experience that I certainly did not have.
