Service 12/15 or 80%
- Hostess(N/A)
If there was one, I blew right past her on my way to meet my friends.
- Promptness(4/5 points)
I was given a menu right as I sat down and the waitress was ready to take my order after just moments. Before I knew it, my brunch was sitting right in front of me.
- Alertness(4/5 points)
We had a party of twelve people and I was amazed at how well our one waitress took care of all the drinks and food. When we all had finished our meals she was there with a bus boy ready to clear the table and let us enjoy our company.
- Friendliness(4/5 points)
I really like the waitress and the other people we interacted with there were friendly as could be. These people clearly enjoy their job and you’ll get that when you visit.
Food and Drink 12/20 or 60%
- Price(3/5 points)
I would say it was fairly priced for what I got. Nothing really to push me higher or lower though.
- Quality of Food(3/5 points)
I got the ham omelet and it was pretty good, but I felt like it needed something more to compliment it. One of my friends swears this is the best eggs benedict she’s ever had. I think the portions were just smaller than what I needed that day.
- Quality of Beverage(2/5 points)
The coffee was horrible and the water was served in absolutely tiny glasses. I think this is another reason I didn’t feel like the food was enough; I need more water and coffee! I will say that another friend said that the bloody mary is the best she’s ever had, but I don’t much care for the drink.
- Presentation(4/5 points)
I was impressed. Everything was arranged neatly and extra touches were made to let you know they didn’t just throw your food on a plate and send it out to the table.
Decor and Space 15/20 or 75%
- Cleanliness(3/5 points)
It was as clean as I would expect, nothing more, nothing less.
- Theme(5/5 points)
I loved the decor and seating in this place. I really felt like I had just walked into a cafe in Paris. Part of me really wants to go back here one night and hang out at their bar.
- Adequate Seating(4/5 points)
I thought this place was okay seating wise, until I realized they have a huge back room for larger parties. We had twelve people at our table and they had no problem accommodating us. I dare you to try to get twelve people seated at any other brunch restaurant; it just won’t happen.
- Location(3/5 points)
The location isn’t great, but it isn’t horrible either. It’s just a few block from the Lorimer L stop, and you can take a lovely stroll down Grand Street after you eat while your food digests. I probably would have rated this higher, but the shock from inside(lovely as can be) to outside(dollar stores and miscreants) of this place is what keeps it right in the middle.
