It's a really nice looking place, been there several times since it has opened, but once again left with a poor experience. Went in for a Sunday brunch to meet friends. There was great music playing and the atmosphere was cool, but once again, had the bartender forget my drink order, took about 10 minutes for a bloody maria after I asked again and eventually made by someone else on the staff .
This place seems to eat up bartenders. The first few months it was open, they had some really skilled, amiable bartenders, but they all left one by one.
As for the brunch, the duck comfit egg was amazingly salty. Burn the back of your throat salty. I switched with the girl I was with and forced it down because I was so hungry (regrettably) but my friend could not finish my eggs Benedict for the same salty reason. I mentioned it to the bartender and he told me he would tell the kitchen, but I somehow doubt it.
The brunch for 3 people, 5 drinks and three meals came out 98 bucks. Once again, not impressed and will not speak highly of the place. Which makes me sad, because of such squandered potential.
