"We decided to spend our first morning in Chatt with breakfast at Ruby Sunshine. I haven’t had it before, but was familiar with the name from when I lived in Nashville. We walked from the Read House with our dog which was less than a mile walk. When we got there, the host seated us and our dog on the patio. It was a hot day getting to 95+ (luckily it was still early around 8am) but they didn’t turn the fans in the patio on which we found odd and kind of uninviting. For preface, the restaurant was not busy as it was Friday morning so most people were at work. There were maybe 2 3 other guests inside. No one else on the patio. We sat on the patio in the heat for probably 15 minutes and not a single person came to talk with us. We made eye contact with multiple employees through the bar window but they purposefully ignored us. Maybe they didn’t want to come out in the heat…but it’s not like they had to stay there they just had to take our order and go back in. We almost left. A dark skinned girl with short hair came outside with a spray bottle and wiped down a few tables without looking at us and then walked back inside. Maybe 5 minutes later, the host walked another couple outside to sit. Continue sitting and another waitress, Cassie, came out with waters and asked if anyone had spoken with us. We said no and she apologized profusely. We’re not sure if she was coming out to help the others just sat and noticed us sitting there or if she saw us through the window while her coworkers ignored us. She was quick and friendly and the only person who saved our terrible start of this experience at Ruby Sunshine. When she went back inside with our drink order, we saw her immediately go and speak with her coworkers looking pretty irritated about it. We aren’t sure if she was a manager here, but if not she honestly should be as she handled this situation perfectly. A few minutes later, the same dark skinned girl who ignored us previously came out to take the other couples order looking very irritated. Cassie was quick at getting our order in and speaking with us consistently to check in on our experiences after this. When we got our food and drinks it was DELICIOUS. The spiced vanilla iced latte was phenomenal as well as the stuffed French toast. My boyfriend had the omelet with chorizo and pico plus potatoes and he loved it as well. The food was the other savior of this place, however, I don’t think we’d ever return if it wasn’t for Cassie. She was a great server and a true team leader. If we come back to Chatt and want breakfast, we’ll come back for great food and hopefully encounter her wonderful attitude again and not have to worry about our terrible experience in the beginning of sitting in the heat with no water or fans while staff ignored us.Parking: Unless you go on a Sunday or walk from your hotel like we did, expect to pay for parking"
