KBLX Sunday Brunch

I am a big KBLX fan/​listener. For several months I have heard Nikki Thomas broadcasting live on Sundays from the Midtown Ballroom in Downtown Oakland. They boasted a great spread of delectable Cajun yummies like fried catfish, crayfish, jambalaya and Biegnet’s. Included in the $ 45 price tag was free parking and Champagne with your meal.
My husband and I drove from Danville after church last Sunday. We arrived at the location where there was no clear indication of where the parking lot was. However, it was Sunday so there was free street parking.
We walk into the lobby where we were met by a security guard with a big chip on his shoulder. I felt like I was going into a nightclub… in west Oakland.
We walk up about three flights of very steep stenchy stairs (with an infant in tow) and arrive at a makeshift cashier/​kiosk and pay $ 90 for the two of us. We are seated at a table shared with about 6 other people. People who seemed offended that my husband had the audacity to sit with them. I say this because of the looks they gave each other and us upon our seating.
The disgruntle servers at the over cooked catfish station gave two piece portions, the waffle station was un manned and when I came back to see if I could get my waffles, the station attendant cut one in half and only gave me a portion of «A» waffle. We never got our champagne, they ran out of coffee, and we had to use cocktail napkins because there were no full sized napkins. There was a tray of unseasoned crayfish on a bed of ice and the Beignet’s were nowhere to be found.
The entire experience was pathetic. Don’t waist your time or money. I left starving. L
