   Showroom had it all. In a shopping area with lots of free parking; reservation honored at time reserved, booth or table. Fantastic waitress - helpful, smiling. Delicious food - we had brunch on Sunday at 1 PM. One of us had the breakfast sandwich which was excellent another had chicken and waffles which was not an overwhelming size but filling, another had shrimp and grits and said it was delicious and the fourth had the short rib hash which he raved about. We sat for a while after finishing and no one hurried us. Overall this was a wonderful experience.

   Submitting details and preferences to OpenTable made No difference. This establishment was not diverse for the 5 hours we sat except for the staff, which made me feel ostracized upon entry that though the restaurant had plenty of seating near windows and midsection, the initial table was a the door in the center (no place for a table), I asked for a booth and passed about 8 booths until he took me to the corner outside of the bathroom where NO ONE was sitting; My friend and I asked to be seated in a booth, near the window, near the few others in the restaurant. My waitress tried to make up, but the constant interruptions by her and the other staff was quite annoying, I didn’t see as much interaction with others. I felt rushed and uncomfortable, appetizers and entree came 5 minutes apart. Waitress made a $40 tip but that is because we stayed several hours. The food was not good- cheddar biscuits were burned and hard, the risotto, clumpy and dry, $9 salmon piece as salty. I lived in New Orleans for years, and the shrimp and grits lackluster. I have read reviews and agree with each low rating. However, I determined after 2 minutes in that I would never return.

   We had an early dinner here on Christmas Eve. The staff were wearing holiday themed sweaters and hats and had a cheerful attitude. All four of us had brunch items - the eggs were perfectly sunny side up! Everyone cleaned their plates except me, the Chicken and egg sandwich was large so I took half home. The breakfast potatoes were so crispy! And the bar drinks were nicely done, especially the old fashioned.

   The pot pie fritters were delicious, crispy and flavorful! The 3 of us shared the chicken and waffles, 3 egg omelette and pancakes with blueberry compote. Everything was delicious and well presented. We are celebrating a birthday and it was so nice she got to pick from 3 amazing dessert options. The carrot cake was delicious. Our server was nice, energetic and efficient. She was smiling the whole time! Looking forward to coming back soon!

   Showroom is always a hit! We enjoyed a family brunch with some great pineapple mimosas and food. Def try the Chicken & The Egg! They also have one of the best shrimp & grits you’ll have Frederick. Make sure to try their cheddar chive biscuits.

   My Reuben sandwich was very good. The fruit plate that Liz got in place of fries was big and delicious!!! Service was very good without being overbearing. I'm really glad we went for lunch!

   The environment is not a typical restaurant it was clearly a diner that has been converted. Overall is still fine, and food is good but the corn dip, beet salad, and short rib were good but not memorable. Had some red wine for dinner (malbec) which was at best ok and there were not better options as wines were limited. Overall, if you are in the area and want to try something different i would give it a go, but dont expect to walk away with a higher end experience.

   Everything was lovely! The food was outstanding, as always. The noise level made it tough to converse with my dad who is older, but it didn't put a damper on the experience. We'll definitely be back!

   Service was awful. Our server ignored us most of the night. Took 20mins after our reservation and being seated for servicer to even come to table for drink order. Drinks arrived and were wrong each time. Dinners arrived cold after 1.5 hrs of ordering. Server returned to deliver check after 2.5 hrs and never came to see if we wanted dessert or more drinks.

    Great space, friendly staff (especially our waiter, Antonio), and quiet enough to actually have a conversation. The food was very good with sizable portions but just a a few items were a bit under-seasoned. Nothing a little salt and pepper didn’t fix. Will definitely go again when we can afford to.
