I recently went to West SIde for brunch and was VERY disappointed. My friend and I waited at least 45 minutes for our food, during which time we had to ask several times for a refill on coffee, which was lukewarm when it finally came. When we commented to the waiter that we were still waiting for our food, he said "yeah, the kitchen is really busy today"...yet the restaurant was less than half full!!! When our food finally came out, it was dry, inedible, and had clearly been sitting under a warming lap for a long time. My eggs benedict with proscuitto was more like dried eggs with prosciutto jerky! My friend's waffle was so hard we had to chisel off a piece. Needless to say, we will not be patronizing Temple Bar for brunch again. What it lacks in quality, it makes up for in pretension. The wait staff couldn't be bothered to bring us coffee or run out the food languishing on a hot plate in the kitchen. The service and the food at Temple were both completely unacceptable.
Pros: none
Cons: bad service, bad food
