I highly recommend their brunch. The food was delicious, and the mimosas were better. I wish I could remember our waiter's name because he was super fast, friendly and easy to talk to. This spot will definitely see me again.

Love to eat here. Sad it will be closing soon but hopefully bringing a beautiful new start. Look forward to visiting again when the restaurant reopens. Had to come one more time before that happened.

The cocktails and food were exceptional. Very good attention to detail, making sure everything was taken care of and that we were satisfied. The room itself was somewhat small, but they made the most of the space they had. Our bartender/server, Mike, was excellent.

We were impressed by the local lingredient-driven menu. There were a few vegetarian options for me. I would have looked to have seen a few more but you can ask for no bacon and cheese on many dishes, The smoky chicken was tender, flavorful and juicy. Definitely worth a visit.
