I went with 4 other people. Everyone's food was delicious, hot and made just for us. And very abundant. My diner sandwich was excellent. Waitress was a young woman. Not great. She forgot people's drink orders. Couldn't keep straight who ordered what food. Served each person's meal separately so they either ate alone when it was served or waited for everybody to be served while their food got cold.
Went for Mother's Day Brunch late morning - it was prominently advertised on their website, and when seated, also on their menus. Alas, they weren't serving brunch, only sandwiches or dinner. Food was a solid 3 stars. Service was iffy (20% automatically added to all bills), especially as the upstairs began to fill.The chairs are massive wooden seats, quite comfortable but using a lot of space between tables. The upstairs quickly became a maze of patrons, chairs and tables...
We used to dine at the predecessor restaurant frequently, but had moved away. In passing thru Vienna last week we noticed the new sign and made note. Made reservations and drove 20 miles to discover it was the same chef, just now he is the owner and he had owned it for some time. Waiter admitted it was his first week, but he was excellent and knowledgable. Bread, hors d'oeuvres and main course all very good. The home made cheese cake and tea were a welcome ending. Will return.
