    The wait is ridiculous for brunch. No brunch is worth waiting an hour and a half when you're hungry. Then, prepare to wait again for your waiter to even talk to you. Oh but you can draw on the table.

    Flat pancakes, dry corned beef hash, aunt Jemima syrup are some reasons to avoid this place.

    The lemon ricotta pancakes were good (and recommended by the staff), but they don't quite match the ones you can get at Plow in SF (I know, maybe an unfair comparison, but it's true!)
