Half & Half

Good food but nothing too spectacular for the price point. $7 pancake...?

I love this spot for brunch. The drinks are perfection. The food is fresh and real. The wait is LONG, get in line on your phone before you go over there. High quality food, high quality everything!

Got the veggie hash and my friend got the clara. The Veggie hash was really good, especially if you add pepper, hot sauce, and ketchup. The portion was quite filling and came with a piece of bread and jam. Great start to the day My friend’s the clara was huge. They only ate 1/3 of the pancakes. They left full and satisfied with pancakes. Would definitely come again for the nice food and wonderful staff that treated us. Expect a wait on weekends!

This hurts me to post this because my fiance and I loved this place so much . Whenever we would go out for breakfast, the conversation would go, "We goin' out for breakfast?"..."Half & Half?" And 7 times out of 10, we would say yes. But as you all know, and for those of you who don't, I am a long time Restaurateur and former director of operations of a wonderful group in DC and San Francisco. Regardless, here is why we decided never to go back to H&H. We walked in at 9:00am on a Saturday morning and the restaurant looked as if it had just come off a push (busy spell) or was just starting to pick up, we approached the host and was directed to our seat. Ladies and gentlemen, we sat there and waited for 7 whole minutes, with the dirtiest glasses i had ever seen to keep us company. I eventually had to get up and ask the host if someone was going to serve us. Now, when I asked, the host didn't answer the question but walked away. So, I returned to my seat. Enter a lanky, goofy looking, african american server..unkempt...and who looked like he had a smell (unconfirmed), whose name I did not get (his name is not worth remembering), but he casually walks over and asks what we would like to drink. We answer, and he walks away. Goofy stops at another table, who we overheard say he had been MIA for a while, and engaging in a one-sided joke session with the table who, like us, was over the waiting. 3 minutes later, our "server" returned to our table with my beverage but had to ask my wife what she had to drink....needless to say, we were frustrated. Goofy leaves the table, and we set a timer. We made a bet. My wife bet he would return in less than a minute....I've been in the business for a while, and I bet he would take another 3 minutes. If she won, we would stay. If I won, we would leave. Right at the 3 minute mark, we placed a 5 dollar bill on the table and got up to leave. We didn't want to cause a fuss, but as we were leaving, Goofy, at another table said "oh, they're leaving. Well, have a nice day!" We were already outside of the door, but when I heard that, I knew it was time to make a fuss. I walked back in and found the manager who I had spoken to before about how much I loved the establishment and explained the situation. To her credit, she listened. To her discredit, she offered to be our server. Why would she do that? As a manager, you're needed on the floor. A manager serving tables isn't something a manager shouldn't volunteer to do. But, to each their own. Anyway, after some soul searching, we decided never to go back. We are also not saying that no one should go, but maybe not get the Goofy server. Ask for someone with a little more respect for what they do.

Burnt end turkey was smoked well with great vegetable and potato hash. The blackberry cheesecake stuffed French toast wasn’t stuffed but the toppings layered on top. The bread was warmed but so thick it didn’t resemble cooked french toast that had any crisp to it. There was too much sauce that made the dish into a soggy sweet bread. Great service and patio but the inside gets loud.

When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon the line was basically out the door (the restaurant is pretty small) and the wait for 2 was 40 minutes. I was hungry and not in the mood to wait, but my mom was insistent and I’m so glad I was patient! Everything we ordered was sooo good and visually pleasing. The seating was kinda uncomfortable and I prefer dining experiences that don’t feel overwhelming/crowded..but the food was worth it!

Absolutely dreadful experience. I’ve been here once before and honestly the food was great. However, that was a while ago and while I went today, I wouldn’t be able to tell you whether or not the food was good because we were not served. When we first walked in there were a few tables occupied, but it was no where near as busy as it usually is. We were greeted with a “table for 2?” and then the server just walked off. We didn’t know whether or not we were supposed to follow her, but ended up doing so and she gave us our menus. Afterwards, she walked off and we were not met with service for almost 30 minutes. In the meantime, our server was making rounds, seating and even serving people who came well after us. Our server would look at our table, but not approach us as if she was intentionally ignoring us. Unfortunately, this treatment rubbed us the wrong way, and we finally left after being neglected for a bit longer. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby within walking distance, with both spectacular food and service so the experience was nothing but a 30 minute waste of time.
