    Overview: night club restaurant; good music; lots of good food. Meal/Time: Brunch, Sat Party of 2 Seated: 1041AM Ordered: 1049AM First ordered item arrived: 1057AM Decor/Atmosphere: night club cafe. TVs on top of Bar. Lighting is low... loud music is playing so conversations will be difficult Service/ Front of the House: Seated right away. Welcomed. Scan the QRC on the table to get the menu. Service/Serving Staff: Table P10 is a bit sticky. Order taker (Enrique R) comes to your table and takes your order, Water is brought out quickly. Note they will take your credit card to hold and open a tab. Service Staff is really friendly and helpful, but with the noise level it makes it hard to hear. Food: I ordered the pork omelet ($23.00). It comes with 2 sides, I chose a balsamic salad and avocado. When they say "pork" they mean bacon, ham and I think carnitas. The omelette contains Mushrooms, sliced cherry tomatos, Red Peppers (but it was green bell peppers), onions and spinach. The dish is HUGE and really filling. The only thing I wish there would be a little more heat in the dish. If you order this, I suggest adding pepper jack cheese. Got the Mini Spinach Dip ($13.00). We had it with Pepper Jack and Cheddar Cheese with green onions. This dish came with a cup of tortilla chips. The pan is hot so be careful. Really cheesy... I used some of the dip with my omelet... really yummy. Perfect dish to share for 2 people. My wife had the chicken wing and waffles ($27.00). comes with some garlic potato wedges and fresh cut fruit. The dish is huge... you get 3 large waffles. It comes drizzled in chocolate. The chicken wings is not sauced but goes well with the maple syrup on the table. My wife said the only thing wrong was the waffles were a little under cook in the middle, but the crust was very brown so the iron was too hot. Value: Excellent value... lots of food enough for 2 or 3 meals if you are a small eater. Restroom: 1 urinal/2 roomy stalls/1 sink, only hand blower, no towels. The room is a bit dark along with the chipped paint gives the men's room an industrial feeling. Will I come back?: Yes, I would come back, but the location is closing in June 2025.

    Nice option for your boozy brunch. Service great, food good (recommend the ooooomlette,) atmosphere is jamming music/DJ so conversation is tough.

    In short: instagrammable, but lacking substance. For the price? Absolutely would not recommend. Edit: I should probably talk about the food I suppose. Very pretty presentation, but the slate platters are so big that they don't fit on the table. I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was very clearly from the freezer and was hidden under the waffles. No texture, shape, or crunch. The layers of sugar and chocolate drizzle helped make up for it. The beans in my friend's burrito were not fully cooked, she jokingly described them as al dente. At least this means they are cooking their own beans, and that they're not from a can?
