Went for Sunday Brunch with two friends. At the desk I gave the hostess my name and reservation time. What her response is we shall never know as I could not hear or understand what she said but I believe "wait just a moment" may have been uttered. She then took some menus and went to a table. She came back, helped some women who walked in and then guided us to the table where she had taken the menus. Odd
After perusing the menu for a minute our waitress took our drink order. The cocktails were very tasty. As we were waiting for our meal, a family sat next to us, ordered beverages and looked over the menu. Our waitress never turned around to ask us if we needed anything before she left. After our food arrived, Waitress then came back to take the order of our neighboring table but due to food allergies they had to go elsewhere. Waitress never turned around to see if we needed anything so I had to flag her down to get a beverage refill. We were half-way through our brunch and Waitress asked my friends if they need drink refills but I had to ask for mine once again. Rude.
Now about the food. I got the Eggs Benedict with spinach, my friends got the Ham and Eggs and the Chicken Sandwich. The food was excellent, eggs cooked perfectly, potatoes just the right amount of salt and not dried out.
Waitress brought us our checks and was very attentive at this point, I guess money is her motivation.
Will I go again? Yes. Will I let Waitress wait at my table? A definite no.
If I ate there it may be higher (or who knows even lower). Â I've been in this restaurant two times - the first time I had no reservation and they were busy. Â The second time I had my wife and two kids (ages 7 and 12) and we were looking for a good meal. Â The attitude on both occasion's was "snooty" and ironically we've been in FAR nicer more acclaimed restaurants in NYC, Philadelphia, San Francisco etc without the "tude". Â
Either way - they don't seem to want families as there is no kids menu. In fact, Â the waiter acted surprised when we inquired about kid options and simply said "we can do spaghetti and meatballs". Â it was 5:30 and the place was not even 20% filled. Â I guess I expect more attentiveness and courtesy from a restaurant (hostess and server).
We have been around the US, Europe and even some of Asia and this place isn't that special relatively speaking. So I am not sure where the "condescending" attitude comes from - the food must be outstanding.
Not sure if I will ever make it back to actually rate them completely (food etc). Â For now, they are 0 and 2 in my book!
W. Dickson St. is the spot in Fayetteville. This hilly little street is as vibrant as it gets in NW Arkansas. I wish I had time to explore more of the businesses on this lively strip, but I am glad we decided to stop at Bordino's.
We stopped in for Saturday brunch and this place is nice. I had to look down and make sure I was dressed well enough, check. While checking out the menu, I did a little plate spying, and the pancakes and eggs benedict looked delicious. Definitely wish I had a little more space in my stomach to give them a try. My gf and I both decided to go with burgers though, and they were great, so no complaints. A juicy medium burger with gouda cheese and fresh spinach. Simple but tasty. My gf's burger had caramelized onions, which she loved.
My favorite part of the meal, though. The Beermosa! This blue moon and orange juice concoction was just what I needed to get me started for the day. It makes perfect sense. I think it is my new favorite drink. I will definitely be asking for it every time I attend a brunch in the future!
