Edgar Kitchen At The Mayflower

This is a poor review. I’ve dined at EDGAR on other occasions, and it has always been very good. However, on this occasion, I received a voicemail from the restaurant, not more than hours before our reservation time for our party of that Edgar would be hosting a private event and we would be moved to an annex area of sorts. They had a name for it that I cannot recall. Being too late to change our plans, we dined in a room that had more in common with a storage room than a dining venue. It was overcrowded, noisy, and the service was sluggish. Of the six dinners, five were very good and one was seriously below par. I have a bit of reluctance giving a poor review of what I hope stems from an uncommon circumstance. On the other hand, EDGAR might do this more frequently than I realize. We certainly paid for a fine-dining experience and received an overworked cafeteria-style one instead. The bottom line is that this is not acceptable.

Food was good. Liked the options from Sandwiches to entrees

Food was Good but the service left something to be desired. We had to wait for the hostess to seat us and then she had to run down a waiter. While we waited for her another waiter appeared and took our order. Then our waiter appeared and asked to take our order. It was like the Abbt and Costello show.

Restaurant is severely understaffed. They did not recognize my brunch reservation. I ended up sitting at the bar to get served. Sat a long time to order food. The couple sitting next to me ordered after me and had more complex orders, but they got their food before me. The food took forever to come out and pieces were missing. The coffee cup had lipstick on it At night for drinks, the bartenders were friendly. Cocktails were quick and tasty.

Super friendly staff and yummy food. Perfect for a random outing.
