    The guava cheesecake was out of this world. The fried chicken sandwich was very good. The cauliflower was delicious.

    Nice bar/restaurant for brunch. We were looking for a quiet place for brunch Christmas week and stumbled upon this establishment. The greeter/waiter, Cameron, was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too! Definitely recommend it and will be back soon!

    Great ambiance but the music didn’t fit the vibe. I expected 1930’s jazz but instead they played hip hop
