Delightful spot. Especially great if you're also going to a show at fringearts. But even if that's not your plan, the food and service is really top notch. Highly recommend.

I booked a girls day for myself and two friends. I found this brunch and bingo @Fringe and we were very excited! Once we got there it was a bit chaotic and no one really knew what was going on. We were seated upstairs and were told to venture downstairs for a buffet… When i think buffet i think a bunch of different foods with all extras you could need…. Big disappointment, there were eight things to choose from, regular egg no seasoning, cheese eggs no seasoning, over cooked bacon, sausage, grits, two seafood options, mini waffles and chicken(only thing editable to me), no menu items listed before signing up just pictures of food so i would assume the buffet options would be close to them. Nope. We each order drinks (not included) eat then bingo starts. Now i have played bingo plenty of times and this was more quizno/bingo which was not explained when you signed up. Kind of took the fun out of it since im not great with music titles. So time check out bill is 15$ more dollars then it should have been about 10$ in tax the event never stated price before tax so we all assumed it would be strictly 35$/person nope… so that plus drinks was about 55$/person for horrible food and not the experience we were hoping for. Just not for us, hopefully everyone else enjoyed themselves.

They were out of several drink choices. The poor waiter had to keep apologizing. The wait for drinks was longer than expected, but the attentiveness of the wait staff made up for it.

Great place before or after a show—but people should also stop in other times. The outdoor area is great; the building is cool. There is be something for everyone that on the menu. Friendly service. Excellent cocktails.
