    Brunch was fantastic, food and drinks were 11/10, the music was a little bit hard to hear over.

    The waiter Gabriel was great. The hostesses and the folks at the front were not so great. We had a reservation at 5:45. I don’t think they would’ve even called us said we not checked in with them. They were like oh yeah we forgot. The noise level was very loud.

    We had a wonderful brunch this morning and Lauren B. Was an awesome waitress. She was kind and very attentive, and brought the food to us. It was a very enjoyable brunch.

    Food was outstanding, as always. Good value and quality. Our server Forrest was an absolute delight and took excellent care of us. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on overall/service was due to the gal who answered the phone. We were stuck in traffic, and I called to let them know we would be late. Her response was "We will only hold your reservation for 20 minutes past your scheduled time." There was no,"Thanks for letting us know and we'll see you soon" just a clipped reply basically saying you'd better get here asap. This was not isolated. We have dealt with this attitude from them before, which is a shame. (They weren't even that busy.) Everything else is top notch.
