We have been there 3 times now and every single time the food was exceptional. Every single item we have ordered salads, soup, appetizers, main courses and desserts were seasoned to perfection. I don't know how they do it, but it is always perfect. I fancy myself as quite a cook, but I am so impressed with their palates. The service is great, also, always there when you need them.

Best flipping bacon 🥓 sweet and salty,a perfect combination. And my favorite brunch item is the huevos rancheros. Absolutely delicious with a homemade tortilla base and a great combination topped with a great salsa/ sauce with just the right heat from sautéed jalapeños. An added gift from the chef of two yummy fresh strawberry scones were moist and absolutely delicious. ( thanks Miley) We loved them them and I don’t usually like scones !! Best brunch in town.
