We were disappointed in our experience. The restaurant faces a large display that is in the plaza outside. This display shines light as it changes. This is very distracting and uncomfortable if you face the windows. We felt like we were in a Seinfeld episode with an annoying light affecting our mental state. It is bad and is amplified because the lighting in the restaurant is dim. The food was ok, but not spectacular. 3 of the dishes we underseasoned. The drinks were spectacular. The service was subpar. We had trouble getting the attention of our waiter to fix an issue with one of the meals were they didn’t provide a spoon for the stew and a salad that was to accompany the dish. We had to flag people down by waiving arms to get refills. It was busy, but not that busy. In my opinion, if looking for for a restaurant of this caliber you would be better served at Coopers Hawk or Clyde’s. We felt like we waisted our money and would not suggest this restaurant.

I ordered a glass of wine and the pour seemed larger than usual but I didn’t realize until the bill came that I was charged for a larger pour that I didn’t ask for. Also, the large video screen in the plaza outside the restaurant kept strobing which was extremely distracting.

While I love Founding Farmers and this location, the breakfast was a little disappointing. The cheesy grits tasted like rice pudding and the chicken maple sausage didn’t taste like it was cooked thoroughly. And while I appreciate servers who come to the table to clear our plates within a reasonable amount of time, we felt rushed as the server removed our plates extremely quick — I hadn’t finished my English muffin yet and he grabbed the plate that that was on and I told him “I wasn’t finished”. I’ve never experienced that before for the numerous times I’ve eaten here. While this experience today wasn’t great, it won’t deter me from patronizing this location. I still love the restaurant, the great food and service that I received in past visits and look forward to many more in the future.

First time at this establishment. Made a reservation for 3 birthday celebrations. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating. Our server failed to offer menus or explain about the brunch or even where the buffet was located. The food was subpar. There were two servers that gathered in the aisle talking and would not step aside so that the patrons with plates of food, could walk by.

The brunch buffet was fantastic as always. Everything was fresh, and the staff kept it fully stocked the entire time. Service was top-notch. Our server, who was a trainee, was so attentive and professional you’d think he’d been there for years. We’ll definitely be back.

We went for the second year to the Sunday brunch with Santa and the Grinch with 2 2 year old and a six year old. They had a great time - the Grinch was really fun! As always, the service and the food were outstanding.
