"A more elegant brunch/lunch place with a more open kitchen so you can see the cooks work! I highly recommend this place for brunch, the drinks are incredible and beautiful! I got the Good Witch and it was SO tasty. There was a drink called Purple Rain that's SO pretty! I very rarely see purple drinks that beautiful and Felicia. The burrata was a delicious meal but we shared it as an appetizer. The condiments with it were amazing! The daily popover (which is close to a yorshire pudding texture) is delightful but huge! We didn't realize it's came with 2 and it doesn't state that on the menu so recommend sharing it with one or even two people! I got the avocado baked eggs and it was delicious but a bit odd to eat. It was a whole avocado, cut in half, with a poached egg in each half but I want expecting the skin to still be on the avocado so it was awkward to eat. Overall it was delicious but the lack of descriptions to include important notes for the meals is the only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5. I wish the menu made mention that there were skins on the avocados or that the waiter could have looked at my party of 6 and suggested we split 3 popovers out at least make mention how big they are (we ordered 5 of them on top of our meals, drinks, and other appetizers and so it became wasteful). I want to add, for accessibility reasons: The restrooms are an adventure, I had to go upstairs and down a hall to get to it. There are elevators for those that can't take stairs though! Just a bit of a journey to get there."

"This our first time at Grey’s so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt this time. First, let me say it is in a great location in the heart of downtown Franklin. The building is beautiful with so much history. The ambiance was perfect. We made reservations for Sunday brunch and sat upstairs. There were 2 musicians playing and it started as a good experience. Perfect setting! However, this is also where is began to go down hill. We sat down ordered an appetizer. We had been looking forward to trying the pimento cheese balls. They came highly recommended by a friend. About 10 minutes later our waiter came back with our drinks (2 sweet teas) and took our order. Many people came in and out receiving their food and finishing up their brunch while we waited for our appetizer. After 30 minutes I asked the waiter if the appetizer would be coming soon. He said he was going to check on it it should be up. After 7-8 minutes more he came back to say he forgot to put in the appetizer order but our food was almost up. Much to our disappointment we cancelled the appetizer since he said our food was almost ready. We have now been seated for 40 minutes with only drinks. 15 more minutes pass and still no food! Our waiter then comes to our table tells us the kitchen lost our ticket but he had them make it while he watched. He places our food down it was COLD! This lets me know it had been sitting there and this wasn’t a kitchen problem but a waiter problem. When he came over we let him know it was cold but a this point we were over Grey’s. He did comp us a banana pudding for the table and gave us the “family discount” which was 50% off the check. I won’t say we will never go back but I will say I would not want the same waiter again. There was a blonde girl upstairs who seemed to be on top of it. Everyone around us seemed to get their food quickly and I do appreciate the dessert and discount. It was just disappointing to leave with such a poor experience."
