Very cute space. Attended a large event (30+ people) and I would NOT recommend for groups this large. The reservation was for 35 and they sat us in an area suitable for 24 and told us that was all they had because they were "fully booked". Not okay when the reservation was for 35, not 24. Needless to say, we had to figure it out. Plus, the buffet-style meal was not adequately stocked for the number of attendees while our group was repeatedly reminded it was not an all-you-can-eat buffet. We were fully aware of this, but the portion size prepared was not sufficient.
I ate half piece of chicken and a quarter piece of waffle, two segments of avacado toast and a few chunks of cantelope- all considered an "appropriate brunch portion" for each person in our group. It was tasty, but not hot and definitely not worth the $65 (excluding drinks) we each paid. There were more items to choose from that I did not want (breakfast burritos cut in half, a mixture of vegetables with egg whites on top, and breakfast sausage patties), but again, there wasn't enough food and we were made to feel as if we were eating too much even though we didn't try to make multiple trips to get food, but had to in order to get something as the portions ran out at least twice.
The bartenders and service staff were very friendly, and the space is LOVELY. I am positive that the individually placed orders were hot. From what I saw, the portion sizes were also much more appropriate. I plan to come back to enjoy the experience of this lovely location another time.

Went on Sunday and there was no wait, but I understand why. There were gnats and flies everywhere. How can you charge $20+ for drinks with bugs/ roaches all over? You can also really see the difference how they treat Caucasian vs any other people. People that were not white waited for everything!! When my food got to my table it was cold and my drinks hot... It was really bad service and to see people discriminated against in 2026 is crazy- Why is no one talking about this? Avoid at all costs

Get ready because I have a list of complaints!!! Poor service , poor management, mid food and roaches 🪳🪳🪳
I had made reservations for me and my girlfriends (party of 6) about a month in advance. I was super excited about our girls night dinner. The place is super cute and the hosts working that night were friendly. However, upon checking in at 6:30 ( my reservation time) I asked if she can wait a few minutes to seat us because all the girls were in the restroom. You’d figure this would’ve given them time to get our table ready. We get to our booth and it’s pretty small and definitely didn’t fit 6 petite women. The person who sat us said she would get an extra chair. I was left standing for quite some time until our server came by. Then I mentioned the chair. She finally brought one maybe 10 min later. And then a second chair another 10 min. So about 30 min roll by and our order still not taken. Someone served us some gross warm tap water, and noticed we only had set ups for 4 so she brought an extra glass. How nice, but it’s a party of 6, not 5. At this point, we’ve been waiting so long I seriously debated leaving and going to Tantalum (which I know has great food and better service). We finally order drinks and our dinner. Drinks arrive but she forgot about my friends cocktail. The table next to us got two rounds of drinks, but still missing hers. Food comes out and we’re missing an order. So first my friends cocktail and now her food. Her food finally arrives (med well steak) and it comes out medium rare. She returns it to get it med well and it comes back looking shriveled & microwaved. Another friend asked the food runner/server to bring steak sauce and S&P because the steaks were so bland. Well he never brought it. The manager that brought out my friends steak was very passive aggressive and should not be in the service industry. She asked if everything was okay and I mentioned how service just wasn’t up to par, and in a rude way said, “ do you want to talk about it? Do you want to discuss it? (With her stupid hand gestures). So we all told her everything mentioned above. Instead of offering an apology and finding a solution to better please our experience, she made excuses and sounded more like a child back biting their parents. We asked the server how to get in touch with upper management and she played dumb. And as we were exiting our booth, a roach crawls on the table!!! Gross!!
Majority of our party come from many years experience in the service industry and this was by far the WORST experience ever!! And on top of that, they added 20% gratuity. TIPS ( to insure proper service) this service didn’t deserve a single cent. Everything was unorganized and lacked communication. And management was poor (woman with short brunette hair).

I don't understand the not great reviews. It was a very nice experience. The place is adorable! The service was absolutely excellent! The food is good. It is a bit pricey! We had late lunch early dinner and it was 210 including tip for 3 people. We ordered 3 mocktails, the lobster grilled cheese, 10 Oz steak, and petite steak, as well as fries, and one desert, all of which was good. We went at the time when they have the 15 min free Duffy boat rides. Our captain was excellent too! Overall a great experience. Will be returning,probably for special occasion. We did arrive a Thursday around 3pm. So we walked in at that time with no reservations. No wait times.
