Oh god. Ok, first of all I LIVE for a good brunch. I don't mind lines, not one bit (and I've seen some fucking brunch lines in my day), but when I have to order at the counter and THEN table-wait with my silverware, coffee and order number in hand, we have a problem. I need the whole experience to occur while seated. Call me crazy. I like to sit with my menu and my coffee while I decide, not be shanghied into ordering the second I walk in the door. \n\nIt's not like you're getting your food any sooner after being seated either. It still takes a while. \n\nMy brioche french toast was cold and not even slightly flavorful. There was a weird taste to it, like they tried to infuse it with orange but ended up stirring rancid oj into the egg batter. Just gross. Had I not been starving it would've been sent back.\n\nThe duck confit hash was delicious, but, seriously, how can you screw up anything fried in duck fat? \n\nOh, AND they ran out of coffee. For like at least a half hour there was no coffee in the joint. Come ON, dudes, you're lucky to get even the second star here.
