I'm not talking about the alcohol portion. It tasted like nothing but plain tomato juice with a bit of horseradish in it. The olive was the tastiest part of the whole drink. That one negative factor aside, the food is great and priced reasonably. The service was prompt and courteous. The brunch is always terrific. I have yet to see anyone with a giant, blue beehive. We'll be back for that alone!

Tis- I'm not sure I understood your initial grievance. Your group was sitting at a table waiting for lunch service and you were then asked to get up because another party wanted your table for breakfast that was supposed to be over? That would classify as well above previously mentioned "moderately, bad attitude".
We arrived a bit early about 15 of 12. and were told they didn't know when they could serve us as their local breakfast crowd was very important to them and they would keep serving breakfast. (I suppose if we wanted breakfast we could have eaten.) So we asked if we could wait and they said yes. We had waited about a half an hour between waiting and sitting before she came over to the table and told us. The funny thing was, there was noone in sight waiting for the table. It was all very strange. And it's not like we looked or acted offensively! And yes, I felt it was much, much more than a moderately bad attitude!!!! However, I don't remember it being the waitress who is the one who is being discussed here. (She was the one with the attitude the other time I mentioned though.)

I didn't go back for a long time, however, I finally did. The food is very good as I said, and haven't had a bad meal there ever. Sometimes you just have to get over these things. Just ignore those who choose to not be nice. It takes all kinds to make a world. But I know a lot of people who wouldn't ever go back under those circumstances.
