   It took more time than I would expect to have anyone check on our table. It was not super busy when we went, though I understand they had an Easter brunch rush. We were disappointed that they didn’t have some menu items (mainly muffins) and chose a substitute but they didn’t have the other item either, but we weren’t notified until the rest of the food was brought to the table. One of the plates was completely forgotten as well, so one of our party had to wait another ten minutes for their food. The food itself was tasty, so I would give it another go on a different day and hope the service was a one-off because of the holiday.

   Arrived for a 6 pm reservation and although sotted promptly I was surprised to be seated in the bar. Be sure it was quite stuffy we moved outside. Server was initially attentive and our drink order was quick, our artichoke fritters took a while. But the on to the entree salads. We waited an inordinately long time, and then when they came out they were given to another table, which had ordered their food after ours. And one of their salads was not what they ordered. The server came to the table, surprised we did not have our food, went back inside and when he came out apologized about the mistake and said my salad would be coming out shortly. That salad must’ve taken at least another20 minutes . Additionally it must have taken at least 15 minutes once I gave the server my credit card to get my receipt.

   Food was very good. The hot brown wasn’t the best I ever had, but still good. Our server was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable.

   Excellent food and drink selections! Wait staff seemed overwhelmed on a Sunday evening. Artichoke fritters were great-staff tried twice to give us other table's order of them-we might have accepted after the third time! Our server noticed our food was delivered after later arriving tables and comped us a drink-very nice gesture-we'll certainly come back.

   The waitress was amazing and made great recommendations from the menu. Bar had an amazing bourbon selection including allocated pours. Artichoke fritters were delicious. White mocha was 🔥🔥🔥, no cap. Eggs Bene was a great flavor combo, but overcooked yolk. 🥲 That runny yolk on that bad boy woulda been the chef's kiss. Definitely recommend Zim's!
