Front Room Tavern - University Park

Do not order the zucchini appetizer. It was not very good and definitely not worth the money. There were only four little quarter-inch slices for $10, and the quality was just not there. The arancini were great, though, so order those instead!

Ordered ice tea. They don’t have any. Then we asked for hot water and tea bags. They don’t have any. Water glass filthy with something in it. Service? Non-existent. What an embarrassment!

Not the Mother’s Day brunch I was expecting It is just a hotel breakfast

Our party of 7 had a late morning reservation for breakfast, celebrating a family event. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived (nor did it become busy during our meal). Our meals came our in pieces those who ordered pancakes received them (and nothing else accompanying sides not delivered at same time) 10 min ahead of those with egg meals. For one side of eggs, we had to remind 2 different waitstaff on 3 occasions, and they did not finally arrive until everyone had finished eating. Unfortunately, the unapologetically poor service and uncoordinated food delivery were a major frustration on what should have been a relaxing and festive occasion. When I reached out to the restaurant later, they said to drop them a line when we're in town so we can be shown the Lumen experience. When I mentioned we are in fact, local, not hotel guests, there was no further follow up. Disappointing service during and after the visit.

We had a reservation at 6:00. We arrived (apparently by the back door) and waited for someone to approach us. After several minutes a patron asked if we needed help. She directed us to the front of the room. We were greeted, fro, behind the bar, and told we could sit anywhere. Sort of an odd experience. Our server was darling and our food was delicious. They had just transitioned to a new chef. Limited menu.
