   Staring out by saying that when friends ask what my favorite restaurant is in AP, my answer is Reyla. Brunch this weekend was with two friends, one of whom hadn't been there before. Our server Jay was fantastic, and it wasn't just his lovely Melbourne accent. He just had great energy, seemed happy to be there and happy to help us if we had any questions - it's what you want from a hospitality professional. My friends ordered the Bennies (one Canadian bacon iirc, the other salmon) and were thrilled with the great flavors. For the first time ever here, I made a mistake in what I ordered. I knew it wasn't going to be as 'exciting' as Reyla's other brunch dishes (Shakshuka and Khachapuri come to mind), but an omelette w mascarpone, arugula, shitakes, bacon, and home fries sounded good, so that's what I got. It was fine. It was boring. I didn't see or taste any evidence of mascarpone (maybe it's whipped in to the eggs?) but it just didn't represent the Reyla I've come to love. Maybe you need one boring item for people who aren't adventurous? It's not like it was inedible, but if you're heading to this restaurant for interesting food, skip this one! And one more shoutout to Jay. We really enjoyed him!

   The entire experience was outstanding. The only feedback is to re-label the coffee cake dessert to a Black Forest cake and add some chocolate to that cake. It’s a good dessert, not what one expects out of a coffee cake; does not live up to the label.

   Amazing food! The real Middle Eastern fusion! Great service! And the speakeasy downstairs is a great plus for cocktails before dinner! We will be back!

   Food took over an hour to serve. They served the entree of my spouse and I had to wait almost an entire hour to get mine.

   Warren Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry for the experience you had during your visit, and we completely understand how frustrating it can be to have a long wait, especially when dining with someone else. Our concept is built around share plates, so we aim to bring out dishes at different times for a more communal dining experience, but it sounds like this wasn’t communicated clearly, and for that, we sincerely apologize. We’re grateful for your patience and will use your feedback to improve our service and communication going forward. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the experience you deserve. Please reach out directly if you'd like to discuss further. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
