I got the southern bowl and it was the grossest stuff I've ever had. $13 and the grits were flavorless and all it has was eggs and bacon on it which somehow they managed to cook bland bacon.
Dropped by Pier 1515 the morning of our checkout (from Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverside) for a good cup of coffee, and got to meet Franklin, the sweet gentleman running the front counter. His warm personality will get your day off to a great start!
Awesome breakfast!
Our 1st trip to see the Chiefs game on 9-7-19 thru 9-9-19. Our stay at the Lexington Hotel was a good one. However, our service at PIER 1515 restaurant was horrible. The food was cold, I waited 30 minutes for a coffee refill. The waitress was so unorganized I couldn’t tell if she was working or on break. We asked her for some things (cheese, butter, cream etc.) and Some of the food that was ordered was forgotten
The breakfast buffet was basic with scrambled eggs, dry sausage links, burnt bacon, overcooked potatoes, grits, crusty oatmeal, old fruit, expired yogurt, and a few toppings. The waitress we had didn’t even know they had an assortment of teas, just said “sweetened or unsweetened” and when asked about the types of tea she repeated the phrase “sweetened or unsweetened”. My husband got expired yogurt and once addressed with our waitress she said “Yeah” and walked off with the yogurt. Did not offer a new unexpired yogurt or to send over the manager to talk to us about it. Later we checked and they had removed the yogurt from the buffet. The buffet was $12.95 for garbage. I would and will never go here again for breakfast at the least.
Noah is a great bartender and good food.
Service was terrible. The server acted like we were a bother. Waited almost an hour for overcooked eggs and cold potatoes. Very disappointing.
The last weekend in September there were several large groups staying at the hotel. Breakfast was included in our rate. The Pier 1515 Buffet wasn't at all prepared for hungry military vets and their families. The buffet was consistently low on many items, there were 1.5 working toasters (which dwindled to one, then to none on the last day), and the staff was really stretched so table service for water and juice was mostly s l o w. The last morning we were there the remaining toaster died, so the server brought us toast from the kitchen. YAY. But we apparently got the last two slices of bread in the restaurant. We went in for lunch on Saturday and were told they were still recovering from breakfast and to go to the lobby bar to eat. Lobby bar sent us back to the restaurant, since they weren't serving. We WERE served in the restaurant but when others walked in they were turned away. Our server was very friendly, but overworked .. there was very little staff. And management seemed non-existent. The bad thing is there aren't a whole lot of restaurants near this hotel, so they have a somewhat captive audience.
Friendly and attentive staff. Really nice breakfast choices. Nice to have food service especially because not too many in hotel area
Was staying at the Lexington for a conference. The lunch time was limited so had the buffet lunch at Pier 1515. The service was great - the food was ok but limited. The options on the buffet were not great but the food was not bad. If you need to grab a bite there I'd say the food itself was pretty good - just be prepared for only a few options. Matter of fact, now that I think about it - I didn't even think to ask if there was a full menu. I may have missed out.
