The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!

The food was decent but the service was not good. The server did not write down the order and forgot to bring an entree. At the end of the meal did not bring change back to one of the guests and never returned to the table.

It was freezing in there, multiple people had their jackets on. They were out of 1/2 of the things (ex. Grilled chicken, salmon, tots, fries, no salads, only sandwich was the blt). I ordered the fried chicken and waffles and when I cut into it the center was raw.

We waited an hour from arrival to get our salad and charcuterie board and had to cancel our main course because we had a show to get to and we’d missed it if we’d waited any longer.

We took our family of 10 for brunch and what a treat!! The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. Brunch cocktails did not disappoint! However, by far the highlight was the kindness and attentiveness of the service staff! Super conveniently located to Murat where we saw a matinee. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Food was good. Nothing amazing. Service was…lackluster. Mixed up orders. Didn’t describe food well at all (as in didn’t know what items were). Also let us sit for so long I had to walk to get her attention. This is the second time I’ve had a similar experience. Good place but so much room to improve.

Risotto with scallops had a metal flavor. Scallops were over cooked, but I powered through it. Service was prompt. Appetizer and main course came out at the same time. A rushed evening.
