text: The food was great but the waitstaff needs some trainingnnParty of four women and men went there for brunch around yesterday I would guess there were only about tables that had patrons seated at them throughout the restaurant both inside and outside nnWe were seated outside half of our party able to sit out of direct sunlight under the awning while the other half of us figured we would just tolerate the sun More on this in a minutennThe hostess handed us menus and started talking about how she might be our server or it might be someone else She repeated it a few times which was a little strange to me This is supposed to be upscale dining right As a customer I do not think I should be made privy to any processes or issues pertaining to which servers turn it is to take a table Hand me my menu and whenever the staff figures it out whoever can come introduce him or herself as our server I can almost guarantee no customer is going to reply to a hostess serving them with What You seated us You cannot POSSIBLY be our server too This is an outrage Let us leave right nownnOur server was a little weird At first I thought maybe she was on drugs she was friendly enough and smiled but she had no enthusiasm and moved and spoke really slowly Maybe it is her first serving job and she was really nervous I do not knownnWhen drinks were ordered I ordered last and said I am so thirsty could I please have some water with ice and she started telling me about their water filtration system and how it chilled the water and if she gave me ice it would be REALLY cold would that be okay Perhaps that is part of her job to make sure as a customer I understand that ice will make water colder but it was really awkward and I had JUST said I am very thirsty and was sitting in direct sunlight I realize a glass of water is the last thing a server wants to bring a guest but come on if you are making it difficult for me to order a glass of ice water on a hot summer day you need to examine your customer service skillsnnThe food RUNNER was excellent She served the ladies first sorry I am a bit old school in my dining habits and offered to open the awning further so the entirety of our party was in the shade The food runner did this So back to our seating expereince as we were being seated and trying to scooch the table out of the sun under the awning without disturbing other patrons and the HOSTESS was seating us it never occurred to the hostess to open the awning further to make us more comfortable By the way it is a motorized awning all the food runner did was push a button nnI had the tofu scramble It was wonderful The potatoes were a little spicy for my liking but I am a wuss when it comes to spiciness My fellow diners ordered the crab cakes the burger and one of the Fathers Day brunch specials which I believe was turkey Everyone at the table was pleased with their foodnnAnd not to my surprise our server did not check back on us until out of the of us were done with our food and then we waited a long time to get our bill and waited a long time for her to come pick up the paymentnnSo again to sum up Good food but for an upscale establishment the wait staff falls short
