"We have almost always had a good experience at Carmine's Coal Fire Pizza. However, our mother's day experience on Sunday for brunch was not one of the them. We were seated promptly, received two glasses of water ? and a small plate of mediocre bread with dipping sauce, and no one came near our table for about 15 minutes. We saw many hostesses but almost no wait staff. My son went to the hostess stand and told them that if someone did not come to our table in three minutes, we were leaving. If restaurants are busy, we never mind waiting, but we wanted to have a drink/coffee at the very least. After our complaint, they became overly solicitous. Our waitress was fine, but blamed the delay on another person. Not sure if that was valid or not. She removed the charge on our bill for our shared appetizer which was nice. The food was OK but somewhat overpriced for what we ate. We were quite disappointed as we have eaten there for dinner with good experiences many times and order takeout pizza there frequently. We will go back, but not for a holiday meal. The alcoholic drinks mimosas, **** marys, etc. were very pricey, so we settled for coffee. In my 80 years, I have been to much nicer brunches. Carmines did not seem to be prepared to handle this event."
