It took an hour to get our food and it sucked. 2 orders of avocado toast came out with, the eggs and chicken were completely raw, and our server would just disappear for 20 minutes at a time. Don’t recommend coming here — especially for how much everything costs.

We went at 1030 on a Sunday morning. They were getting egg and other food deliveries.We ordered 2 sandwiches. One a egg muffin which was good; the other a breakfast biscuit. After 45 minutes the cook came over and told me he was out of biscuits and would I accept a sandwich roll instead....yes. 15 minutes later our food finally came out and it was good.Thankfully the waitress made it better and we tipped her accordingly.

Trip here was unfortunately a complete mess. We were there for nearly 3 hours and got maybe 1/3 of what we ordered. The entire place was waiting on food that just never came. It clearly wasnt the staff's fault, it seemed like the kitchen collapsed or they just didnt have more than 1 person cooking. Seems like this has been a lot of people's experiences.They comp-ed a lot of what we ordered which I appreciated but something was just completely screwed up. Hope they figure it out.

So this is the first time I’ve been to a brunch or any restaurant experience where half of our group did not receive their food after two hour and no communication or explanation of what happened and they said all we have to do is pay for what we drank. That’s is just ridiculous, how does a restaurant not serve food and then telling us they will comp all the food isn’t even them comping anything if the food was never brought out. I definitely do not recommend coming here as a dc local. If the server had stopped by to check on us or even tell us there was a delay that’s understandable, but there was no communication and we looked around and something was off since barely any of the tables had food on them. There are so many options in the city and this will never be on the list, best part is our friend that recommended the place and planned it will hear about the worst brunch and restaurant experience any of us had. I especially feel bad for the birthday party that got there before us and didn’t get their food. Worst part was my friend ordered a Philly cheesesteak sub and it’s called I’m gettin lazy or something and it was a bite size portion ? the look on his face and the outrage plus the server dropped it off with zero eye contact knowing this was messed up.We also had a reservation so it should have been expected, we felt bad for the people walking in expecting to eat as we left this place, even bars serve food.Last but not least, none of the images of the food are accurate and grossly misleading and false advertising!!

We had a brunch reservation on a Saturday afternoon. We waited 2 hours for our food. Ultimately, only half of our group received their entrees. One of our friends was served a cheesesteak on a small hotdog bun. My husband and I did not receive our meals and we decided to leave to get food at another restaurant after 2 hours and 15 mins had passed. This was an issue with the entire restaurant and not just our group. I’ve never had this happen at a restaurant before. It was mind-blowing in the worst way.

We came for bottomless and didn’t have a reservation, but they were able to seat us as a party of 6 which was very convenient. We tried both the bottomless sangria and mimosas. The mimosas come in pitchers that are already premixed with their different juices. The pineapple was definitely my favorite. For food I ordered a chicken quesadilla which was filling and a good size, but nothing amazing. We ended with sharing the beignets which were really good and came with strawberry ice cream. Overall it was a decent brunch experience. The food was ok and the drinks weren’t bad.

The terrible service over shadowed the good aspects of this restaurant. The waiter was rude, unhelpful, and did not have good knowledge of the menu. My order was incorrectly placed.

The people and the atmosphere were great but the food is truly awful. The Say Cheese was actively gross and my friends who got sausages finished in three bites. Also, the servers don't get to keep their tips. Don't go here.

Our food took over an hour to come out, and they brought it all at different times so some of it got cold. We also waited about 15 mins for a server to take our order because no one knew whose section we were seated in.

We reserved for 10 am brunch, but had to call to get the door unlocked at 10:05 (their website also indicates a 10 am opening but the door listed 11). We were told the kitchen wasn't quite ready yet but were served the bottomless mimosas while we waited, and the ice cream that was supposed to accompany the beignets (which we received later). Our waitress finally took our order at 10:45, and we received our food near 11:15. The food was good not great, and some small items were missing (missing arugula and fruity pebbles respectively for the entrees). The wall of games was nice to have and kept my other diner and I occupied while we waited, but we sat over 2 hours on a listed limit of 90 minutes. The discrepancy with the opening time and the delay with the kitchen shadowed the whole experience. Hours and reservations should be updated in order to hopefully avoid this for future diners!
