    Absolutely delicious brunch. Food came out fast. We stayed almost 2 hours because the ambiance was great and it wasn't busy on a Monday morning. Fabulous service and overall great vibe. We had the cowboy breakfast and the scramble. Both were magnificent. Shared the yogurt and granola, which was amazing! Excellent Chai tea and iced tea, too! This place is a step above in every way!
