text: It pains me not to be able to offer a star review for Church After all is in the name But in my experience it is just not all it could bennIve been for a Yelp event for dinner and for brunch For the Yelp event I was most impressed with the service seeing staff members hoof it up and down the stairs with huge trays of food and keeping all the Yelpers happy That is an excellent characteristic to observe in a staff However that is not all to the storynnMy second visit was for dinner and while the Mr enjoyed a fantastic second steak my tofu entree was underwhelming at best I appreciate restaurants that have a thoughtfully executed vegetarian entree so tossing slabs of tofu on a plate does not quite cut it for me I have checked the menu and found that the current token vegetarian entree is now in fact a different iteration of a tofu dish Here is hoping it is better than its predecessornnAs for brunch I was prepared to be blown away After all despite my misgivings after having had the dinner I figured brunch would have to be a step up Also if you are going to fire up a brunch in this town you really have to bring your finestI do not come with a hangover so I am in full foodie forcennFor brunch we sat at the bar and split a cocktail and I ended up with an omelette It was not made with love It could have been so much better but it was limp instead of fluffy Although I chose excellent ingredients it was ultimately a big disappointment I asked for one side and was brought another I think the same thing happened to the Mr nnBut here is the thing I really like Church I think it is a good concept I see how hard their leadership works to create something unique and soughtafter here in CharlottenI appreciate that they respond well to Yelp reviews I just do not think they have it all togethernnIll definitely come back because I believe in these guys I believe that I will have a chance in the near future to write a or star review But until that day comes I have to stand by my experiences and write an honest review
