Worst Service

Myself and 5 of my friends heard about this place and thought it would be great for brunch. I can say the only positive thing that I experienced here was the food was good. Our waitress was completely rude! It seemed that she was only rude to us bc the other table seated in her section was treated better by her. The drinks we had were completely watered down and when we sent two of them back, our waitress says, "Well, they can't be watery! I watched the bartender make them myself." That is not good customer service! She didn't say, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Let me see if I can get you something else." We were not rude to her at all. All we asked was could we possibly try something different. It took forever to get our food. The waitresses other table got their food first, which was not good since we were there way before and ordered way before them. We decided to speak with the manager, which was pointless as well. We told her that the waitress had been completely rude to us. The manager then asked us if our food was good. We said yes. Then she said,"Well, then I don't see what the problem is then." I mean come on! We weren't complaining about the food! We were complaining about the crappy service provided by our rude waitress. I have to say that I don't think I could give this place a second chance and I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially if you are different race. I say that only bc I am white and my friends are black. There were no other black people in this place, which is not an indication of racism, but what is the indication is that the waitress's other table was white and I am white and she seemed to be better attentive to them and myself.
