Picnic style service was not clearly identified when making the reservation leading to a very underwhelming experience. The food was sub par and I would not suggest a friend or relative go to that location for dinner, the brunch and lunch are usually fantastic so this was a huge let down.

This is the best place ever, with or without your k9 critters. The food was second to none, hands down incredible!! If you’re looking for a little music come on Friday. Music was as good as food ambiance and service!!

Brought my pups here for their birthday and had a great time at the dog park and then got some food. I had Avocado Toast that was the best Avocado toast I’ve ever had. The staff was super friendly and even gave the pups a special treat for their birthdays! The only thing that was disappointing was they had a race earlier in the day and ran out of nearly everything. But the staff tried to be accommodating about it. I will definitely come again.
