I have had this in most restaurants around the city and 12 Tables just didn't rate. 1 slice of bread cut in two, 3 tiny cherry tomatoes and two very small eggs. I was still hungry when I left. My companion had a breakfast bap and enjoyed it. The coffee was good and the staff pleasant. This was my second visit and both times I've been underwhelmed so won't be rushing back anytime soon.

Do they wait until they have a number of orders to deliver? I always thought that when a delivery took long to deliver that it was because they were busy??

"yes" I sat at the bar to choose from the breakfast menu on the counter, gave my order to another server and was brought cutlery and a glass of water. Some minutes later, he had to come back to tell me that the kitchen was now only serving the main menu. Not impressed! Now, I know it could be down to teething problems and it was busy with the match crowd but surely taking away obsolete menus and informing the staff at what time you stop serving breakfast is pretty basic stuff.
the beer revolu wrote: » Update on Tequila Jack's: After 3 tweets and 24 hours I got a response of "Hey, appreciate the feedback from your experience. Disappointed to hear you had a poor first impression. Hopefully we'll see you again." Pretty poor imo No apology, no explanation and no incentive to return. Remedial customer service.
the beer revolu wrote: » Despite the appalling customer service last week, I thought I'd try Tequila Jack's for brunch again. I tweeted them yesterday morning asking what time they served this menu until on Sundays. I got no reply. Seriously, if you have a business twitter account, then check in on it occasionally. They really seem clueless. Still haven't eaten there.
the beer revolu wrote: » I can now confirm that they open @12 on a Sunday and serve "breakfast" until 3. I got a reply!
the beer revolu wrote: » Another Update!! I phoned them this morning to enquire about breakfast times . I was told, open at 12, breakfast menu until 2. (not sure if Sunday is still 3 as I was told last week) Anyway, headed in shortly after 12 and the server confirmed that breakfast was served 12 - 2 and full menu from 1. Ordered a breakfast tostado and a Mexican omelette. Service was quick (it was very quiet at the time) and the food was very, very tasty. For me, my breakfast tostado was a perfect brunch portion and well cooked. Nice runny poached eggs and a tasty tomato sauce with black beans and avocado. Mrs Beer enjoyed her omelette too. Coffee was pretty good. Service was friendly and good (we were almost finished our dishes when we were asked if everything was alright), if not spectacular. From day one, I liked the look of that breakfast menu and it did not disappoint, despite it taking three weeks for me to manage to get there when they are serving it!;). So, a good spot for breakfast, at least!

Mostly 15/18 a main (steaks a bit more), .. Will be going back..
Malari wrote: » You're right! Was in there over the weekend and it smelled of...kitchen. The smell you get when you open the oven while you're doing roast chicken and spuds! I think maybe it's the stuff they deep-fry? Obviously the extractor doesn't do that great a job. Having said that, the food was actually lovely, and couldn't fault the service. We had the baked cooleeney, which was unusual and quite filling, but very delicious. Also had salmon fishcakes, which were tasty and served with a salad and sweet potato crisps. And fish and chips, with peas (which were served in a bizarrely large container for the size of the plate! A little on the steep side maybe, but they were giving out free glasses of prosecco. Quiet night though - only a handful of other tables occupied. Pet peeve...seemed like several other dishes going out were served with greaseproof paper under the food on the plate. Made it seem rather canteen-like. I think it needs something else to transition to a restaurant by night. It still has that cafe feel to it. I would like to try it again, if only to sample the smoked fish sharing platter (which my dining companion did not fancy this time!).
