The food is good (note- good, not great, not amazing), but the wait was excessively long. We waited at least 30 minutes for drinks, another long stretch for appetizers and then again for our entrees-- and two of the drinks we ordered never arrived. Also, the music is too loud for pleasant dinner conversation. It just takes away from the evening when I have to yell to be heard-- and have to hear the other patrons also speaking too loudly so they can be heard. This was my second time there, so perhaps the wait was a result of being short-staffed and not a usual part of the experience. However, I won't be returning for dinner any time soon.

I had such a lovely time at brunch with my friends. The food was good and the bottomless mimosas were indeed bottomless. The ambiance was enjoyable and the staff were very nice and attentive
