I wanted so much for this place to be awesome, but it definitely disappointed on quite a few levels. First, let me say a positive...their drink menu of special cocktails is very good! My fiance had an \""Aivator\"", and I tried the \""Hemingway\"", both mixed and garnished beautifully. Now to the food and service, which is where it went downhill...service was very very very slow, including at the bar, where we were the only 2 customers at the time. That said, it was Sunday, Mothers Day, and they are usually closed but were open with a special menu. They were not prepared at all. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. We ordered an appetizer and it came out fairly fast and was the best and only good dish of the meal, a yellowfin tuna over asian noodles. Past that, I noted all the tables around us, some seated before us, some soon after us, didn't have any food on the table, for a very very long time. I looked back in the kitchen which you have a view of, and only saw 2-3 people working back there. Then, about 30 minutes after our appetizer and waiting, waiting, waiting, patiently, we didn't complain, all the sudden, food began appearing out of the kitchen, en masse. How odd...it was like they had made some phone calls to get more people to come into work or something. I ordered biscuits and gravy. My biscuits were hard and cold, hardly Emeril worthy, there was MAYBE, at best, 2 tablespoons of gravy, also cold and getting congealed. One egg was sunny side up as ordered, the other overcooked with a hard yolk. The sweet potato hash on the side was overly greasy with bell peppers and onions, I couldn't eat more than a bite, the grease was just too much for me. My fiance had a steak and hash dish, the steak was ok, but both his eggs, ordered sunny side up and runny, were like 2 flat hard boiled eggs. My daughter had the burger, which was cooked as ordered and ok, but just a burger, nothing special and her fries looked and tasted like they had been in the fryer 3x as long as they should have been, or cooked dirty unchanged oil, they were so dark and overcooked. We didn't order fruit, but fruit came out anyway, our waitress noted we didn't order it but alas, it WAS on our check....for $6! $6 for a lot of honeydew, a few mushy strawberries and some grapes? Needless to say, we skipped dessert and headed out. I will say this, my fiance and I did note we were there on a day they are usually closed and on a menu they usually do not prepare, so we WILL try e2 again, maybe for a date night, but if that goes in any direction this brunch did, these 2 foodies will not be returning.
