Resting on their laurels. Was the chef out today? 7/8/2007

I was really surprised at how so-so this place was because I was definitely looking forward to going. We had brunch there today and the service was pretty bad--our waiter only refilled our drinks when he brought the check, although he was very friendly. The outdoor seating area was very nice and it was surprisingly uncrowded. I liked that it was quiet enough that you could talk--rather than having really loud music as some places do. The fritters, which everyone seems to love, were burnt and hard. I couldn't believe they actually came out of the kitchen like that. My friend's shrimp and grits was too garlicky by far although it was lovely to look at. My eggs were great, but the biscuit was hard as a brick, even under the sausage gravy which had huge chunks of onion in it and very little sausage. My fries did redeam the meal, but the pina colada ice cream tasted like Hagen Dazs, no homemade as it was advertized. I will go back, but only to see if it gets better. I like supporting local businesses, but they need to stop resting on their laurels. Oh, and would it hurt them to have a changing table in the bathroom? If you're going to have highchairs, you probably expect babies, right? Don't make me change my twins at the table! Pros: Nice setting. Cons: Um, the food. At least at brunch. more
