Amazing. I hate paying too much for breakfast, it's just eggs. This place is worth every extra dime. I would say it is mid priced with high quality food. As a family, the carnitas benedict is a favorite dish, from any where at any time. We went for a birthday and the restaurant gave them a card! The servers are always on point which is rare in our city right now. The place has a fancy vibe but I went in jeans and flannel and felt fine. The mimosa menu is great. Each plate comes out beautiful and tastes amazing. Kitchen nicely modified a dish I wanted due to a food allergy without a single complaint. Tell everyone, I need this place to survive!

Overall very good. I always get the steak salad. Sometimes it is excellent and sometimes okay. Yesterday the flavor was great but it seemed a little fatty for a filet. The service was good. I will definitely go back and I would recommend.
