Gralehaus
has
a
ton
going
for
it
with
some
logistical
issues
that
made
for
a
clunky
experience
for
me
that
could
have
been
great
but
landed
as
good
in
the
end.
My
wife
and
I
went
in
at
11AM
on
a
Sunday
for
brunch.
I
have
zero
experience
in
the
food
service
industry,
so
my
take
on
this
experience
may
be
clueless,
but
it’s
just
that—my
experience.
I
do
want
to
start
with
the
positive—the
food.
I
had
the
French
toast
with
eggs
and
sausage
on
the
side.
The
bread
tasted
extremely
fresh,
and
the
texture
was
perfect.
The
dish
itself
was
complex
and
not
just
overly
sweet.
The
cookie
butter,
syrup,
and
cream
were
a
great
balance
of
sweet
and
salty
with
a
hint
of
sourness.
Maybe
the
best
French
toast
I’ve
had.
My
wife
had
a
frittata
that
was
extremely
well
executed.
The
sausage
was
a
large
patty,
and
it
tasted
fresh
and
local.
The
coffee
was
delicious.
We
were
ushered
to
the
waiting
area
located
through
a
courtyard
in
another
building
with
the
bar
and
taps.
I
cannot
stress
enough
how
beautiful
this
place
is.
But
this
was
the
first
bump
in
the
road
for
me.
We
were
able
to
order
drinks,
but
everything
needed
to
be
shuttled
back
and
forth
by
the
servers,
which
made
service
more
difficult
to
render
and
to
receive.
The
coffee
really
needed
two
sugars,
and
we
were
given
only
one.
Not
a
big
deal,
but
it’s
not
like
a
server
can
just
grab
you
something
easily
when
they
need
to
go
to
a
completely
different
building.
By
the
time
we
were
seated
and
our
food
arrived,
we’d
been
nursing
the
same
cup
of
coffee
for
probably
25
minutes.
This
was
the
second
bump.
My
wife
asked
for
a
warm
up
for
her
coffee
and
was
told
they
don’t
do
“free
refills”
but
we
were
free
to
order
another
cup.
At
$3.75
a
cup,
this
felt
a
bit
silly.
I
can
understand
not
wanting
to
give
out
bottomless
coffee,
but
a
single
top
off
for
a
cup
of
drip
coffee
being
out
of
the
question
was
a
big
turn-off
for
both
of
us.
It’s
a
first
world
problem,
for
sure,
but
on
the
spectrum
of
hospitality,
it
comes
across
as
inhospitable
to
me.
Lastly,
I’ll
advise
that
it’s
tight
quarters.
This
is
definitely
a
me
thing.
I
get
a
little
anxious
dining
in
small
spaces
with
lots
of
people.
There
was
probably
enough
information
available
for
me
to
come
to
that
conclusion
beforehand,
but
I
didn’t.
Hopefully
this
helps
someone
else
set
expectations.
In
hindsight,
it
wouldn’t
stop
me
from
going.
I’m
nitpicking
the
negative
things,
but
those
small
things
that
rubbed
me
the
wrong
way
really
rubbed.
The
positive
aspects
really
did
shine.
Don’t
expect
the
things
that
I
did,
and
I’m
sure
you’ll
have
a
fabulous
experience.
