When I first walked in, the waitress just stared at me without directing me to a table. I waited and finally asked if they were open. I wanted to sit by the window with the high stools, the previous customers just left. The waitress just tried to direct me to another seat. I expressed wishes to sit there and told her to take her time no rush at all about the cleanup. I just wanted to sit by the window because I would like to see the view outside. I don’t think it was a rude request as the restaurant was super quiet and slow on a Friday night. Not busy at all.
When my bf and I finally got seated, there was a homeless man with some cleanup equipments just wanted to see if he can get a few bucks for cleaning the window outside the restaurant (he never came in to the restaurant at all). I understand this is a small town and people here might not be used to dealing with homeless people. One of her kitchen coworkers went out to talk to the homeless man and gave him some money. And the homeless person left. Shortly after that, he returned back to the kitchen to work. This waitress was acting out on her anxiety and kept asking why is he outside even after her coworker came back. It just made the atmosphere very tense and strange. After all, there are customers dining in.
And the waitess started saying she thought my bf and I were knocking on the door before coming in to ask if it is still open (mind you, we didn’t knock we just open the door), & accused it was the homeless man who was knocking the whole time).
I got the coconut risotto with fried palm heart and the passion fruit Thai tea. They weren’t good at all tbh with you…
The passion fruit Thai tea was basically passion fruit syrup with a splash of coconut milk (completely different ratio compare to ones I see on your google review) When I told the waitress about it, she asked if I wanted some water to be added to it. Instead of taking my drink to her station to remake or dilute it, she just came back with a full glass of water (around 16 oz). Mind you, the drink itself was full in the glass it came with, so idk how it would make sense for her to do that. So yes, your waitress was very unprofessional and rude.
My bf wanted to say something about it or just leave but I didn’t want to exacerbate the awkwardness and tension in this restaurant. And also, we were here just as tourists from out of town. So we just paid and left after a few bites.
The brunchtober specials sounded amazing, so my boyfriend and I decided to make a reservation. It’d been a while since I had dined in here and it was so nice! The server (Lily I believe?) was great – she let us know first thing that the morning had been very busy so they had sold out of some mains, which I appreciated so I could choose another option. I’d been looking forward to the pumpkin cannoli pancakes, but I’m not surprised they went fast! Hoping something similar is on the brunch menu in the future and I’ll know to make a reservation earlier in the day. We both got the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. I love pomegranates and I wish more restaurants included them when they’re in season! I always love the infused butter, and the waffles were so soft and fluffy. My non-vegan boyfriend was really impressed by the chicken, too!
I can’t recommend PiANTA strongly enough. The chef comes up with some of the best flavor combinations I’ve ever had and the ingredients are always fresh. As someone whose stomach doesn’t love super-processed meat alternatives, I really appreciate how much care goes into the quality of what goes into the food and allergen friendliness.
