"A friend of mine recommended coming to this spot so I decided to take one of my friends here to celebrate her birthday. I called in to make reservations with a nice man for 1:30pm. When I arrived I parked on the street not too far from the spot. When we walked in I gave the server Mercedes my name for the reservation. As we waited for the manager to check she took our temperature. When the manager arrived, I forgot her name, she checked my name and said she didn't see it. I told her I called in and she told me they only take reservations online. I explained to her the online option only had outdoor so I called for indoor and the man took the reservation. The manager then tried to say they are booked and that she was sorry as in she cannot sit us. I began to get livid and told her I came from NJ for this spot and my friend, I name dropped, recommended it. The server Mercedes said don't worry and she would talk to the manager and to wait for a minute outside. They then let us in to sit after a couple minutes. The spot is fairly small fyi and they had music playing and a DJ come after. Mercedes came over and she was very nice. She took our orders and we ordered the pitcher of mimosas which was good. Had to send the glasses back because they were dirty. For an entrée I ordered the steak and eggs and my friend ordered the chicken and waffles. I didn't particularly care for the steak. It was kind of bland and so were the potatoes. The eggs were the best on the plate. My friend enjoyed the chicken and waffles. The bill came to $66, I paid and left. Not the best experience."
