My sister (non vegan) lives in Alpharetta so we thought we'd Goggle a Vegan (me) Friendly restaurant near her apartment. First one on the list was Anna's Kitchen so off we go for our Mother's Day meal. We get there around 2:10p and could heard the Caribbean style live music before we entered the restaurant. When we entered we found the seating area to be VERY limited. They can only seat about 28 people so they say, but looks like less than that. We wouldn't know because we were never greeted at the door. We just stood there while the staff just walked right by us. We stood there a good 5 - 10 minutes with absolutely no one acknowledging our existence. We saw a take out menu and grabbed it. We looked it over but still no service. Finally I said lets just go and we did. The service is zero so I can't rate the food.
We went to Anna's Kitchen today (Sunday) around noon. There was only one other table of customers (a husband, wife, and small baby) who received their food shortly after we sat down. It took the waiter about 10 minutes to come over and take our drink order, and then another 5-10 minutes to bring us our drinks.
Keep in mind that there were only 2 other customers in the entire place, and they already had their food! We were informed that it was brunch only, so we were limited to the 5 selections on their brunch menu which was (if I recall) 2 types of fish plates, a garden veggie omelet, a cheese omelet, and pancakes. The waiter indicated that they also had a jerk chicken dish available.
We ordered 2 garden omelets and pancakes. The menu said that the omelets came with hashbrowns, and the pancakes came with eggs. The waiter confirmed this when he repeated our order back to us.
Flash forward to 40 minutes later (at which point we had been in the restaurant for an hour since sitting down) the waiter brings us our food. How in the world it took them this long to make 2 omelets and pancakes, we have no idea. The food was good (but not great), and it appeared that the omelets had frozen "veg-all" corn, carrots, and green beans in them (not very "homemade", which is what their menu says).
To add insult to injury, they never brought us the sides of hashbrowns nor eggs!!! We waited for another 5 minutes after receiving the omelets and pancakes, just in case they were still cooking the sides, before we brought it to the attention of the server. She was a little confused, saying that they weren't on our order (this is a different person than our original waiter) -- EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON THE MENU that what we ordered comes with these sides!!!
She ended up taking about 15% off our total bill to compensate for not receiving our sides. We got no compensation for the poor service. Our bill was $22!!! For a bad brunch. AVOID THIS PLACE.
I was so excited to find this restaurant and I am happy to say that the food did not let me down. The owner of the restaurtant was very friendly and welcomed us with a beautiful smile. The restaurant is very comfortable and family friendly.
The food had great flavors without being overdone. It taste like something your grandmother spent all day long cooking.
