It’s not very often I leave a review, but I have been sick since after having breakfast yesterday on Father’s Day. I mentioned to the waitress I would like to have gluten free, she said they had GF bread. When my toast came out I questioned the waitress and asked again if it was gluten free, she said yes she was sure it was. Well I’ve been very sick since after eating there, and the hellish stomach pains all night. This is so awful I had to spend most of my day in the bathroom at work. I’ve been to front and main a few times and each time the food has declined, but to this point is just absolutely horrible!!! I will suffer for who knows how long as I haven’t been able to eat gluten for 15 years, this is the first time I can say a restaurant screwed up badly.

Dining at the Front and Main was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I was so, so disappointed in our dining experience. THE ATOMOSPHERE: I made reservations a week in advance for Sunday brunch for a party of six. Upon arriving, they were going to seat us at a table in the middle of the restaurant close to the front door. Because my husband is hard of hearing, we asked if we could have a seat that was not as noisy in another area of the restaurant. We were happy that they were willing to accommodate us until we saw that they had prepared a table for us in the middle of the hotel lobby between the hotel front desk and the main entrance to the hotel. The main entrance had an automatic door that opened and closed every time someone walked by. Every few seconds throughout our entire meal, we had to listen to the door open and close. This was by far worse than the original location they were going to seat us. I am still flabbergasted that they sat us in the middle of the lobby like they did. I would have asked to go back to the original location, but we were with other people and I did not want to be asked to be moved a second time. THE FOOD: The food was horrible! Not only were the fried eggs in the Lockwood overcooked, they were greasy! The eggs in the eggs Benedict were also overcooked. The food was cold! The quality and portions of the meals was not worth the price paid. THE SERVICE: The service was also not good! We were sat in the middle of the hotel lobby and then pretty much ignored. At one point to get a refill of coffee, I took it from the coffee station set up for hotel guests. The server was also not knowledgeable on what gluten free options there were on the menu. I will absolutely not be returning to Front and Main. I am surprised that this restaurant has gotten the rave reviews it has because nothing about this restaurant was good.
