I've
been
here
for
brunch
3
times
now
over
the
past
year
or
two.
Each
time
they
have
upped
the
prices
and
decreased
the
quality.
It's
now
$21
for
their
Sunday
brunch
buffet,
but
at
least
it
now
comes
with
coffee
included.
However,
for
$21,
I
expect
the
food
to
be
exquisite.
Lindy's
level
of
good.
Because
I
could
order
a
brunch
meal
at
Lindy's
for
about
that
same
price,
and
still
leave
full.
If
I
rated
it
on
the
friendliness
of
their
servers,
carrot
cake
and
waffles
alone,
it
would
be
5
stars.
But
I
can't
do
that.
I
have
the
irrational
tendency
to
want
to
go
back,
I
think
it's
because
it
sounds
like
it
should
be
good
and
I
keep
hoping
it's
met
it's
potential.
So
this
time
I
took
very
careful
notes
of
everything
to
keep
myself
from
spending
that
much
money
for
mediocre
food
again.
Bottom
line:
If
you
want
an
all
you
can
eat
brunch,
go
to
Union
in
Short
North.
Parking
is
more
of
a
pain,
but
it
will
cost
less
and
taste
better.
Especially
if
you
want
an
omelette.
So
here
are
my
notes:
The
Bad:
Undercooked
hashbrowns
No
hot
sauce
readily
available.
You
have
to
ask
for
some
at
the
bloody
mary
corner
of
the
bar.
Ketchup
had
water
pooled
on
top.
The
scrambled
eggs
were
kind
of
thick
and
tasted
like
they
were
made
with
cream.
Did
not
taste
nice.
Cinnamon
rolls
were
very
dry
on
the
outside
(even
crunched
and
crumbled)
.
The
sweet
and
salty
pretzle
bites
had
little
to
no
salt.
(Which
for
me
was
good,
but
if
you
want
pretzle,
you'll
be
disappointed.)
The
was
only
one
regular
coffee
roast
(medium
roast),
but
for
some
reason
there
were
two
flavored
roasts.
There
was
also
one
decaf.
I've
never
seen
the
amount
of
normal
coffee
offered
at
brunch
equal
that
of
decaf
and
less
than
flavored.
The
regular
coffee
tasted
of
burnt
beans.
Given
that
it
was
Crimson
(which
I
love),
it
was
likely
because
it
had
either
been
left
sitting
too
long
or
it
was
made
with
too
much
coffee
(a
high
beans
to
water
ratio
makes
even
a
light
roast
taste
bitter).
The
eggs
were
too
watery
for
their
omelettes.
The
maple
syrup
was
artificial
(again,
$21
buffet).
The
fried
chicken
was
old.
Or
the
chicken
itself
was
old
(as
in
approaching
expiration).
In
either
case,
it
did
not
taste
fresh.
Our
table
was
out
of
splenda.
There
was
some
food
that
had
fallen
onto
their
face-up
pile
of
clean
plates
at
the
buffet.
Server
after
server
walked
by
and
never
cleaned
it
or
removed
the
plate.
The
Good:
Super
top
marks
for
bringing
a
fresh
pot
when
telling
them
about
the
current
decanter
contents.
The
waffles
are
perfectly
cooked
and
yummy.
The
carrot
cake
is
AMAZING.
I
make
a
mean
carrot
cake,
so
I
am
very
picky.
This
was
divine.
The
staff
are
super
friendly.
Important
Note:
They
are
in
the
midst
of
switching
their
coffee
supplier
to
Roaming
Goat.
I'm
not
a
huge
fan
of
them,
but
if
you
are
then
I
guess
this
will
be
a
good
thing.
Brief
Comment
on
Lunch:
For
what
it's
worth,
I
went
here
for
a
mid-week
lunch
a
couple
yrs
ago
and
thoroughly
enjoyed
it.
That's
my
only
non-brunch
experience.
Given
that
it
was
so
long
ago,
I'm
not
sure
it's
still
relevant.
