    Had reservations for brunch. They were flexible when I needed to make changes. Food was tasty, arrived in a timely manner and drinks were good. My only suggestion would be to train hosting staff to communicate to guests about wait times and how to manage the crowds that come in,

    With a reservation, there was no wait time. It didn’t appear that the restaurant was busy but we were early birds. It got ver crowded as the hours went by. We decided to have the family style brunch. I really liked the different choices. The food was served, quickly. It was hot and fresh. For our appetizers, we enjoyed the deviled eggs, cornbread, Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts were the best!! Our entree dishes included avocado toast, shrimp and grits, French toast, and the egg scrambler. All of them were delicious!! It was plentiful because we took extra food home.

    Food came out cold, server was inattentive and requests had to be made multiple times before we received items requested like napkins and condiments. Hadn’t been here in about a year and quality appears to have gone down

    The service was good and the food was delicious. One downside is the advertisement of $23.95 BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, which is false because there is a .35 cent charge for each refill. Please adjust the menu description from either Bottomless or refills are .35 cent.

    My only concern is Hen Quarter - Alexandria isn’t friendly to those with mobility limitations. If you wish to dine upstairs in the main dining room, you must climb 2 sets of approximately 8 stairs plus an additional 6 more stairs to enjoy the dining room. Otherwise, I guess you may eat downstairs in what feels like the lobby bar. Once you’re in the main dining the service and food are on point 😊 Then you have to make it back downstairs.
