I had some friends visiting from out of town and took them to this very cute restaurant. Two of us had been before. Of the two of us - they had taken my favorite item off the brunch menu and they had taken her favorite item off the menu (the macaroni bites). Fine. Okay. Streamlining for brunch (their busiest time, apparently) - I get it. However, I found it to be extremely rude that they told us specifically we could not get the items we wanted (and gave us a rather long explanation why not), yet five minutes after we order we see them carrying a steaming plate of the supposedly unavailable item to a table behind us. It was obvious that the other diners were friends of the staff because one of the cooks came to talk to them.
