Sunday Brunch: Packed House, nowhere to park, nowhere to sit, nowhere to stand, nowhere to go for an hour?!?

Parking was difficult, only two Handicapped spaces, both occupied. Interesting note: There are THREE parking spaces boldly marked "RESERVED" next to the Handicapped spaces, not being used.

Hostess: She is a Hero and is capable of herding felines across the Delaware River in the rain, to get there Rabies vaccination injections at an Annual Championship Dog Show in Madison Square Gardens.
Yes, she is that good. We had reservations for 12 people at Noon.
(BTW: All seated, menu'd, water'd, ready to dine at approximately 11:49AM)

UNtil Noon shall we 'Wait at the Bar?' Sure especially if you don't mind paying high dollar for a high quality beverage from a Bartender THAT deliberately ignores you, therefore making impossible for you to walk on the check or stiff them on a tip if/when you do get seated. (Your table is ready and it ain't going nowhere Famished Patron - Please Promptly Pay the tab, request the drinks be delivered and then Thank & Tip your Tender, our Hero 'The Hostess' will gladly wait).

Service came with a smile, skills, knowledge courteous and professional.

Food: Brunch Menu, just the facts. Manna from Heaven?

Bad Day For Beignets the few fully cooked were balls of dough infused with synthetic flavored non-stick cooking spray.
The other few - Generously filled with raw batter immediately snuffing your appetite.
The three little cups of Chocolate, Raspberry and Salted Caramel toppings was just enough to start a cold war between members of a peace loving family. Thankfully more arrived with only moments to spare.

Waffles cold, same synthetic non stick spray flavoring.
Chicken tenders OMG! Excellent.
Eggs, any style? Okay, could get the same at IHOP or Denny's for less.

Stuffed French Toast/Hash Dishes- They must have set off a synthetic tasting non-stick cooking spray bug bomb in the kitchen early this morning.

The finest selection of a la carte breakfast meats available
#1) Maple Ham - The best center cut, boneless piece of "The other white meat" I have had ever had. After the glaze cooled then coagulated and scraped off that morsel of meat was merrily masticated.
#2 )Thick Cut Bacon - Any flavor is fine, the bacon brightly shines thru.
#3) Regular Cut Bacon - Suitable for adults order it for your kids.

Even with reservations and smooth sailing from start to finish, coming and going when it's crowded and for Brunch it's always crowded this place is a hassle. Everything is over priced. Since the place is so popular with the in crowd, nobody wants to complain, let alone take the time to tell you the truth. They are not really there for the food (Perhaps an off day since the consensus for today was sadly hit or miss.

Now if someone wants to take you there and treat you to Brunch...
Go! Go! Go!
