"After having given up on this place for inconsistencies, we decided to give it another try as it had been awhile since we had been here. I rarely give a bad rating but for such an amazing location and beautiful restaurant, they cannot seem to get the food and service right. We have been going there since the restaurant opened and at first it was good. Over the years the menu has changed, the food has become inconsistent and now the menu is incredibly limited. The staff used to be great. We were there on the weekend at 12:30pm and even with the beautiful pizza oven, a focal point of the restaurant, there was not a single pizza item on the menu. Slate used to be a go to Brunch place. While the restaurant was fairly empty (maybe 3 or 4 tables seated), our waitress took our drink order and did not come back for 15 minutes. Someone else delivered the drinks. She spent all her time at the bar talking to the bartender and someone else. The food was plated in an uninspired diner way with no garnishment whatsoever. The waitress checked on us once. When we were done she never asked how we wanted the bill just brought two separate bills. This could be such an amazing place. It is so beautiful and has such potential. It used to get packed on the weekends and was a staple in the neighborhood. They need to bring back an A team for both the kitchen and the front of the house, revamp the menu, train the staff, advertise that you have done that so people will come back, and turn this place around."
