Husband and I had been wanting to try this place for a year, so we headed over this morning to arrive just after opening. Upon arrival, there were only 3 tables of 2-tops in the entire restaurant. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. It took a good 7-8 minutes before a server came by to greet us and pour our waters, but she was friendly and smiling. I took the time in between sitting down and receiving service to use the restroom, which was mostly clean and orderly. I ordered decaf, which she needed to brew, understandably. A few minutes later we ordered our food, and 5-6 minutes later, my coffee came out - lukewarm at best. Our veggie omelet, berry french toast and side of medium-well bacon took over 25 minutes to arrive and, though the plates were thoughtfully split for us to share, both orders were really disappointing. The omelet was missing avocado slices on top, it was mostly onions - long stringy ones with the "filmy" skin still attached - but, worse, the temperature was barely warm. No one wants to eat cold eggs. The french toast, though pretty to look at, was simply cold - cold bread, very tough to chew. The strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the large raspberries not so much. The bacon, however, was hot and cooked perfectly - still sizzling just a bit. So, it was shocking to bite into cold french toast and a room-temperature, onion-filled omelet while holding a perfect specimen of bacon in my hand. To us, it appeared our main meals had been sitting "ready" quite some time while the bacon was being cooked. Unfortunately, as it was a late breakfast for us (especially waiting nearly 40 minutes between walking inside and actually receiving our food), we opted to eat it "as is". The immediate desire to send it back was overrun by grumbling tummies. It wasn't until after the server dropped our food off that I realized there was no jam for the toast. So, 3-4 minutes later, I stopped her in passing to ask for jam, which she retrieved from the kitchen for another piece of cold, chewy bread. A few minutes later, I stopped her again as she passed by, to ask for a coffee refill. At that time, I informed her the food was disappointing, specifically the cold french toast and coffee, but I forgot to mention the missing avocado on our omelet. She apologized and offered to replace the french toast, but I responded that we were too hungry to wait longer on hot food and also had somewhere else to be. We finished our plates quickly and, again, I drank lukewarm coffee. Even the table next to us complained to their server that the "fresh" coffee was "cold". Another server came by and picked up the majority of our plates attempting to clear the table. By now, it's approx. 11:45 and business was picking up. Since we hadn't received the bill yet, my husband headed to the restroom. While he was gone, our server came back, presenting me with a full order of french toast - as she took the last small stack of plates and our forks away. I explained that, while I appreciated the gesture, we were ready for the check. She suggested I take it "to go", stating she'd get a box. She did just that and presented the bill, which I thanked her for. Granted, it wasn't the worst experience ever. The server was sweet, just less attentive than what we'd consider average. As former industry professionals, including a Food and Bev/Banquet Manager and bar/restaurant owner - we trained our servers to check all plates against tickets before serving to ensure "correctness". Servers should know menu items top to bottom, especially the relatively small brunch menu they offer. Complaints re: cold coffee from guests warrant checking the machine and offering to heat it up in the microwave as a quick resolve. Most importantly, when food is "up", it goes out hot - don't hold it for a forgotten side dish. If we hadn't been so hungry, we would have sent it all back and left...which we have never done. It's frustrating to read the revi

Good customer service, we ordered chip and chips, which were really good, however I’m disappointed with fettuccine Alfredo, it wasn’t creamy and had weird aftertaste to it.

We really enjoyed our Valentine's dinner at Wence. We had reservations and were seated right away. The night was very busy, but the staff were very attentive and quickly took our drink & appetizer orders. I was torn between the ribeye steak or porkchop. I went with the porkchop because of the mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was a thick cut of meat, but moist and tasty. My lady had the salmon, and equally enjoyed her meal. We've been here before and each experience has been equally enjoyable. I am sure that we will be back again soon. Our overall experience was 5 star.

The sea bass was delicious. It's not a dish you see on too many menus, so I ordered it and was very pleased.

My husband and I had an absolutely delicious Brunch this afternoon! I ordered the Cowboy Omelet, and it was packed with steak cooked medium-rare just as requested, as well as bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and pepper jack cheese. The country potatoes were perfectly spiced, and the sourdough toast and little fruit salad were perfect accompaniments. My husband ordered the French toast combo with eggs over hard and said everything was great. We didn't have any adult libations this time, but their drink list was impressive. Our waitress was sweet and just the right amount of attentive. We will definitely be back!!Kid-friendliness: We did hear the waitress offer a kids menu to another table, so they do have kids options!

So when you have a server look you up and down because of how you are dressed just to order to go and pass you on to other servers make you feel like I shouldn’t be in the restaurant. Not even greeted by this person but greet every white person in a bar. Other than the over priced food and lack of flavor very disappointing restaurant. The tables are filthy the floor has a wine stain. The lady that help me was very nice.

We've been meaning to try this for a while but due to so many bad reviews we kept putting this off but finally the wife and I went and enjoyed a very long dinner because they are very slow! The food was absolutely amazing not a single complaint but it took me 15 minutes to get a glass of water and probably an hour to actually get down to eating some food! But the staff was very nice and apologetic and sounds like the owners need to add another wait staff because it takes too long to eat here but the food is great!

The service was great! The food was too. We had the fried calamari, seafood pasta, chicken Marsala, e shared a salad and I had the crème brûlée for dessert. The food was hot and the presentation was delightful! I've been b back a few times since this visit and so is still well.
