The food was not great. We got the wagyu steak. Probably the worst one we have ever had.

Hi Lena! Sorry to hear you didn't like our woodfired tri-tip, it's one of our most popular dishes! We'd love to hear more about your visit and see what we could have done better. Thank you for your feedback!

**Restaurant Review: The Brunch Spot** I recently had the pleasure of visiting *The Brunch Spot*, a cozy little gem tucked away in the heart of the city, and I must say, it did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel at home. The decor is charming, with rustic wooden tables, hanging plants, and soft, natural lighting that set the perfect tone for a relaxed meal. ### The Menu: The menu offers a fantastic array of brunch options, blending classic comfort foods with inventive twists. I opted for their signature *Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs*, which was nothing short of perfection. The toast was crispy yet chewy, topped with creamy, well-seasoned avocado, and the eggs were poached to runny perfection. My companion had the *Lemon Ricotta Pancakes*, which were fluffy, light, and bursting with fresh, zesty flavors. ### Drinks: I was equally impressed with their drink

Food was excellent, no vegetarian entree choices. Ambience is beautiful, however the noise level, is very uncomfortable. Gatsby understood each other, some ceiling wall noise reduction would be a good solution. Service was excellent .

Dalton was excellent. Very attentive and kind. The mushroom and grits appetizer was amazing and all of our meals were perfect. The chef kindly stopped by to say hello and confirm. Nice touch.

What a lovely restaurant! Comfortable, relaxed, and professional in every way. I also had an issue with one of the dishes we ordered. It was quite salty. I mentioned it, and they immediately offered to replace it. Not only that, they actually admitted it and told us it was being remade! On top of that, they comped my replacement meal as well as the one I sent back. We will definitely recommend Granddam and will return!
