    We went to the Thanksgiving buffet with a reservation. An officious security guard greeted waiting guests at the entrance and argued with a family whose kid had to go to the bathroom. Not a great first impression. The outdoor patio is the place to sit if there’s a crowd, and there was. The buffet was elbow to elbow in the buffet area, which was just too small a space for the number of people. The food tasted good, was fresh and plentiful. Highlights were the sushi, squash soup, seafood and dessert bar. Servers brought juice, coffee and champagne. I’d return here to lunch or another meal with table service.

    Super cute spot! The vibes and atmosphere are what I think all brunch spots should be. The food was good, nothing mind blowing— but the vibes made up for it. Give it a shot :)

    The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.
