   We had a reservation and arrived 10 minutes early. The place was only half-full when we arrived, but we were still asked to wait a few minutes for a table. It took 45 minutes to get our food (chicken biscuit and an omelette). Some of the food ordered wasn't brought to the table. Additionally, I had already completed the part of my meal that did arrive before the waiter ever checked on us. Despite repeatedly asking for a water refill, none ever came (meal duration: 90 minutes) Of the two desserts listed on the menu, they weren't serving one of them. The other (bread pudding) was, oddly, served cold but in a mini cast iron skillet with a puddle of what was to have been a gelato on the side. Overall, a very disappointing second outing at this restaurant.

   Met friends for a birthday dinner on 2/23. My reservation was at 4 and due to a “hiccup” on the staff’s part, we had to wait for a table. We were seated at around 4:30. I had heard really good things about this restaurant and was really looking forward to a good time but unfortunately the service wasn’t great. The food was delicious but usually servers bring out courses together or don’t have large gaps of time in serving drinks and dishes. It’s a very popular and busy restaurant so maybe they’re short staffed. I’d like to give it another try and hope that the service will be better.

   It was just okay. Definitely not worth the $200+ we paid for really light in color pancakes, dry scrambled eggs… the staff was pretty nice, service was kind of slow but somehow the customer is limited to 90 minutes 🤔.

   Malachi Legal and Strategic Services Team enjoyed our lunch at The Breakfast Club. The food was very good. Service was great. We were served and back to work within an hour.

   The service was very slow. We did not get our food until an hour and a half after being seated.

   Food was great! Service was extremely slow. They have a 90 minute limit so I would’ve expected service to be more timely. Took about 45-60 minutes to get our food.

   I waited an hour & still didn’t even any food or drinks. And my order was placed! I sat there & watched two couples who came 30 minutes or more after me, get food & drinks before me. That’s unacceptable! Then when I complained to the manager about it, she simply did not care to rectify the issue. She made excuses for the server. It was poor service under poor management!

   My first time here was a pretty good experience. The food is good. My only complaint would be the bathrooms not being clean but, outside of that this would’ve been five stars.

    My husband and I went here for Valentines dinner and it was delicious! My seafood grits had flavored, fresh seafood packed in every bite and his steak was cooked medium to perfection. My daiquiri drink was refreshing. Ohhhh and the caramel cake, yum! All recommended by our attentive waiter, Eyo. Thanks for the chill vibes and food! We will be back!
