    Exceeded my expectations! Visually appealing, excellent service. I had the mushroom farro-quinoa bowl and dessert cheese- all delicious. The espresso was first-rate. We will be back!

    Waiter was asked to inform us what the tinned fish was. He walked around for a while then came back to check on whether we wanted to order or not. Then I asked again about the tinned fish. And he realized he forgot to get that info, left again then came back. He seemed overwhelmed. Hopefully he gets the support and training he needs to be a little bit more on top of things :)

    The food was pretty good, but I don’t know if I’ll return. All the food recommendations were mostly just okay. The pork belly benedict had far too much sauce and was too rich to eat more than half for the two of us who ordered it. It was my friend’s birthday and she’s trained at Le Cordon Bleu and eggs benedict is her favorite brunch item so it was too bad that she couldn’t even finish her meal. My husband had the grain bowl and added chicken because our server said it was her favorite and sadly, it was so bland. Also, I was a bit surprised by the cost. I don’t mind paying for a delicious meal, but over $350 for brunch for a party of 8 (4 adults, 4 children) for what we received seemed on the high end. The service was generally very nice and the ambiance was nice.

    The food and service at Agnes is ALWAYS above and beyond! The heart that goes into each dishes creation from ingredients to plating is obvious! The bartenders, cheesemongers, waitstaff and chef and owner really know how to create a welcoming upscale dining experience WITH the feel of home! My recs- the tator tots, baked potato dumplings and the chocolate chip cookie!! Just save some for me!
