I was taking a couple of former client’s out to brunch and decided to look on line and see where most people recommended going on Long Island. When I did both a Bing and Google search, I found that the most popular choice for Brunch on Long Island was Rothmann’s Steakhouse in East Norwich.
I easily made a reservation. Since I was running late, I called to secure the reservation and the hostess told me “no worries… There aren’t that many people here.”
I walked in, met my party right away and took a quick peruse of the food. They had lobster, king crab leg, shrimp, fresh sushi, omlets, steak and more. There was an abundance of food. Everything looked better than the thing before!
However, my major complaint, when we sat down, no one told us what the brunch included. It was never mentioned that drinks were included along with juice. I had a cup of coffee, the other two people had water. They never even mentioned the price, but I knew it would be pricey.
The thing that bothered me most was that they included the tip. I had to seek out waiters for more coffee and for a refill of water and yet had to pay almost $30 for the tip? Does that make any sense to you?
At first, I would recommend going to Rothmann’s for brunch but after seeing the check and finding out that it included drinks, I was very upset.
You may say, I should have asked. But, I think the waiter should have told us what is included with the brunch…. At least he could have refilled our water!
