    Place was cute. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Waiter was friendly but put in our drink and food order wrong twice. I had to wait for another entree to be made so dinner took longer than expected.

    great food, eh service. However, we were sat right away after making a reservation an hour prior, which was really perfect. menu options are great and drinks were good. However, the server took 5-10min to come greet us so we were ready to order drinks and food by then. Our food (pasta entrees) came out before our drinks. We only got a bloody mary and spicy margarita. The drinks came out 5 minutes after the food. There was no follow-up from the server to check on us. And I had my utensils on my plate for a long time (sign for being done), no one came to offer a to-go box or clear the table. I had to wave our server down after 30min to ask for the check and a to-go container. I'd come again because the food and drinks were great but hope not all servers are like this there.

    We went for Sunday Brunch. Green eggs bowl —eggs were well cooked & green components were fresh but it lacked salsa verde that was listed on menu and as a result was somewhat bland. Hot apple cider with cinnamon was very nice. My husband said his big breakfast was just OK.
