Food was great and the hostess was very accommodating but our server was awful. Went there before a concert thinking it’d be quick but every other table was served before us and left before we even received our food and we were one of the first people to be seated for dinner. Also never brought us our drinks we had to go to the bar and grab them. We only ordered 3 entrees and 2 appetizers and he completely forgot about a whole salad. I really hope he was new and it was just a fluke bc everyone else seemed to get their food fairly quickly.

In town for the eras tour and this place advised a “Eras tour brunch” for $60/person. Made a reservation at 1:45 because it was available and when we showed they said they closed at 2 but they said they wouldn’t kick us out. The server made many comments about how they were closing while we tried to eat. The left over buffet food was cold. And we paid too much for low quality service and food.

Paid for an eras inspired brunch and the only taylor swift related things was three drink specials that were not even included in the price of the experience. Not even Taylor music playing.
