Ernie's Restaurant

I have been here several times for Sunday Brunch and I am particularly fond of the Eggs Benedict. But the other review is correct about the service. It is always slow. I tried to come here for dinner one time and we stood at the host stand for about 10min. I finally went to the bar to search out an employee simply to find out the wait time for a table. She was busy pouring wine and socializing with the guests and looked exasperated because I interupted her to ask the wait time for a table. I appreciate when a restaurant is busy, but all I wanted was to know how long it was going to be. I did not think that was unreasonable. Needless to say, we left and went to another restaurant. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant so long as you have the patience for the poor service. Pros: Great eggs benedict. Cons: Poor service. more

This place is not a place that has bad food, or even a bad wine list, it's got lovely ambiance and interesting art and furniture, but I can't even properly describe any of that because of how truly annoyed I've been at the service and the time it takes to get anything in that restaurant. I've taken part in dinner parties of 6, late lunch time, early dinner time and late dinners and they've all amounted to the same thing, excessively slow service. It takes up to 20 minutes to get a drink and your bread, and believe me, you need the bread b/c if you're even remotely hungry when you get there, you'll be starved by the time your food arrives. The staff is a little on the frazzled side so I'll attribute that to why I've never been impressed with them, but because of that flaw and the complete un-attentive nature of this restaurant, I could never truly reccommend them and I've never even been there on a busy night! I'd hate to see that. Pros: Electic setting is something nice for downtown Brenham Cons: So terribly slow that I cannot remember the food b/c I was so starved by the time it came. more
