    They are open all day but serve a very limited menu from 230-5p. We did not stay to eat because there were so few choices. Had I been aware of the limited menu I would not have made a reservation!

    Ambiance was really nice and the staff was kind and respectful! The food although tasty was kind of lacking in portion and taste. Although, the omelet may be the butteriest eggs I have ever had.

    Enjoyed their brunch menu — the fried chicken Benedict with paprika hollandaise unusual but nicely executed and tasty and the grilled cheese sandwich with salad. Both were well done. Service could not have been better. Thank you Hannah! Would not hesitate to return for brunch!

    Two of the three dishes were very good. One was undercooked, thus the lower rating. My wife would have sent it back, but we waited over an hour and fifteen minutes after ordering before our food arrived, so did not have the time to wait longer. I think our waiter forgot to put our entrees in as other people sat, ordered, ate, and paid between the time we ordered our entrees and the time we arrived. Great potential and maybe we were just unlucky, but would not return based on no acknowledgment nor apology on the significant delay.

    Usually, this is one of my favorite restaurants, and I’m sure service was not as good as usual because it was Valentines weekend. I arrived in was approaching the table. I fell. Literally fell to the ground. I was in shoes with a lot of grip, but there was something on the floor I suppose and I fell. Somebody came and helped me and then it was 15 minutes before the waiter arrived to even offer me water or a drink. I fell in front of everyone and it took 15 minutes for him to come back and even offer me water. I asked to make sure that they would mop the spot and they never did because he felt that there was nothing actually there. I eat at tandem twice a month and I felt the treatment was not so kind tonight. The food was good, but we had to search for our waiter every time we needed him. I will stick to what I should’ve done and not go out on Valentine’s weekend when the goal seems to pack more tables rather than take care of the actual tables themselves.
