worst service in seattle?

by iwa8

i also really wanted to like the place, and have gone to eat brunch there 4 times over the year. i'm giving up on it because of the HORRIBLE service. every employee is apathetic to everything except each other. the food takes a very very very long time to come out, and isn't hot when it finally does. no one checks up on tables during that time to let customers know why their food isn't there yet. it is impossible to flag anyone down to get boxes or service. at least 4 capable servers and other workers walked right by our table of three constantly for about 20 minutes from when we finished eating, without one glance of acknowledgement. they seem to give ok service to some tables, and very bad service to others. when we were seated the place was full (about 1 pm on a sunday). when we were finally able to leave (because of the slow service) we were the ONLY customers in the place. we were being completely ignored by every employee when we were the only ones left, and were obviously very done with our meal and happiness. food is fine, menu is big, but there is no sense of purpose or urgency going on in the place so everything lacks.

• Pros: some food comes out hot, and tastes good.
• Cons: once you sit down, you become invisible.

Best Pancakes

by peterickj

Best pancakes in town. Not the heavy type. Light with blueberries. Great place to have breakfast.

Don't waste your time.

by Nummagumma

Don't waste your time. Make the trip to a nearly identically decorated place - CJ's eatery - the food there is GREAT.

The food is inconsistent - the menu is misleading - the service is lousy.

• Pros: CJ's Eatery is close
• Cons: Cold food, bad Coffee, Bad Service

not so great

by tnemceff

I really wanted to like this place and went three times to give it a chance, but I've given up and won't go back. I did like the extensive menu and the look of the place; it sort of made me feel like I was in Manhattan! And the salami omlet I had one time was pretty tasty, but those were the only good things about the restaurant. Even with that decent omlet, the potatoes were undercooked. Service has been generally slow and unfriendly and twice my food was brought out cold. I got the impression that nobody really wanted to be working there. And even the omlet I liked was kind of pricey from what I remember.

• Pros: big menu, nice decor, salami omlet
• Cons: slow service, unfriendly, cold food
