    Amazing Brunch!!! Our favourites were the French toast, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Shrimp n Grits. I enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. Our server (Aidan) was great. We stay at the Wyndham Old Towne resort often and next time we're back in town we're coming back for brunch!!!

    Everything was going well until we noticed people who came in after us including a large party all received their food before us. The waiter intentionally avoided us after asking what was the delay. He tried to give us extra good but we declined and he appeared to be upset with us. The manager apologized and gave us 25% off our bill. This wa mostly our first and last time dining here. The drinks were good and the food was just ok in my opinion.

    They were clearly understaffed and overwhelmed for brunch. Manager stopped by our table but didn’t expedite anything. Long wait for service , water , drinks and food. Deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes were delicious. Entrees just okay and arrived cold ! Nice ambiance , but will skip next time in Alexandria.

    The food was “ok” could have been better. Service was slow but I know they were very busy so I get it. However the noise and wait time for food was probably the worst of it.

    The service was incredibly poor. The waiter was unfamiliar with the menu and provided inaccurate information multiple times. Our appetizers were brought out and we had to repeatedly ask for plates and silverware while the food sat there getting cold. Eventually we had to approach the hostess to request this since our server was unhelpful. The kitchen was out of certain menu choices that we ordered and our server never informed us. We had to ask for the table to be cleared and hold our appetizer plates to allow room on the table when the entrees were served since our dirty appetizer plates were still there. He forgot to bring out items that we had ordered. Upon conclusion of our meal we repeatedly had to ask for the bill and eventually had to again approach the hostess who then handed us a receipt to take back to our table to pay on our phone. We will not return.
