    Out waitress was incredibly curt and condescending to us. My husband has celiac disease so simply asked for corn tortillas instead of flour (their menu seems very allergy friendly) - flour tortillas came out instead we tried to flag someone down for 5 full minutes until our server came over and ensured us it was flour but that she would double check. She came out 5 minutes later with corn tortillas and didn’t even apologize. She also cleared our drinks and dishes before we were even finished - with the added flair of grabbing all the dirty utensils in one hand while still reaching across the table for plates. Overall, I understand her probably having a bad day and therefore being rude but I draw the line at not taking allergies seriously.
    Maya - New YorkResponded on December 17, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We want to sincerely apologize for the experience you and your husband had during your visit. Providing excellent service and respecting dietary needs, especially allergies, is something we take very seriously, and we're truly sorry that we fell short in this instance. We've shared your comments with our team to ensure situations like this are addressed with greater care and professionalism. An apology should have been offered immediately, and our service during your visit should have reflected the high standards we set for ourselves. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve, and we truly value your patronage.

    Great food, drinks, service, deal, everything! EXCEPT the DJ music was conversationally cripplingly loud - my friend and I had to sit so close to eachother and still yell into each others faces just to hear each other. Look I like music as much as the next person but when the waitstaff and guests at 2:00 pm in the afternoon have to yell and still can’t always hear eachother/ need to ask eachother to repeat things - it’s too loud! DJ was good but just several decimals lower please- I beg of you.
    Maya - New YorkResponded on December 11, 2024
    Hello Julie! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!

    The Bottomless Brunch is tricky: pay attention to how it works. Food is good, drinks ok. The DJ was a distraction and the music was not memorable nor did it in anyway enhance the experience. The overall sound level was too high - had to speak loudly to be heard. Won’t go back.
    Maya - New YorkResponded on December 3, 2024
    Hi April! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry to learn that parts of your experience didn’t wow you. We appreciate your comments regarding the DJ and sound levels. Your insights help us refine our atmosphere so it better suits our guests' preferences. We’ll be sharing your feedback with our team as we work to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide an experience that exceeds your expectations.
