   It was a rough one tonight at McLoones! We were told our reservation wasn’t ready and waited 30 minutes. No one checked with us. Then we told the hostess we were going to leave and she said she could seat us. No one ever came to us at the table. We waived down a manager finally and he brought us water. Almost an hour after our reservation we decided it was time to leave and go somewhere else. Hopefully it was just an off night.

   Adam our server was amazing. Honestly this place is one my favorites. I would consider myself a generally picky person in terms of food so I will just have to say that the food is OK, but it always leaves me satisfied. Brunch on Sundays is quite expensive for what it is but we love the space and absolutely keep coming back because this place is so family friendly!! Thank you McCloones!

   It was a very strange combination of hits and misses. The omelette was good, but scrambled eggs were cool and overdone and the bacon was downright cold which made the grease congeal- very unappealing. The shrimp were large, delicious and fantastic but this lox platter didn't even have onions or capers and unfortunately, the bagels were dry as sawdust without any flavor. Lenders bagels would have been much better. In addition to the sawdust bagels, there are only many croissants and no other selection of sliced bread or rolls. The desserts were mostly terrible except for the mini cream puffs. We nevertheless enjoyed ourselves because the servers were fantastic and we were determined to have a good time.

   Amelia was a great server & food was very tasty. I just wish we sat in back room as chairs were uncomfortable & it was loud.
