Kind of a tragic brunch

Passed this place a million times and thought I'd try the prix fixe brunch. It's now $14.95 (I think it used to be $12.95). Anyways, the experience was off. Indoors was elevator music, outdoors wobbly tables. The food was bland and service was odd: terrible bloody mary (only vodka, tomato juice, ice in a small glass--no spice, no celery) and the bellini could have been a virgin; I'm pretty sure my quiche lorraine was prepared with frozen spinach and came with an over dressed mesclun salad; the omelet had no accompaniment save for a lonely piece of parsley; no one offered us coffee and we didn't even both get our coffees until after the meal ended; and I'm pretty sure they're rationing biscuits. What a sad waste of a great space and location.
