Edit: we did give it another try, and ultimately it’s the same experience unfortunately. They also serve brunch but don’t have coffee. Used to be one of my favorite spots in town.

It makes me really sad to write this review. I’ve frequented historians for almost a decade and I’m not sure what happened in the last couple of months but I likely won’t be back unless something changes. I want to see this business succeed, so I hope management takes note of some of these most recent reviews

We came for brunch today and you order food now from the bar and pick up from the bar, yet the cost of food is about 20-30% more expensive. ~$16 for brunch plates. They’ve taken away nearly every vegetarian option and charge extra to sub your protein for avocado. Also it’s served in paper dishes which is not only wasteful but definitely changes the experience. It’s like the entire restaurant staff is gone and they are running on a bare bones crew.

It’s clear this is an effort to improve profit in an unstable economy. But a place that used to be packed on a weekend at noon was totally dead. I know this is an attempted solution to a widespread problem but I just don’t see it working out and I would hate to see a big chain take it’s place.
