Wonderful food and exceptional servers. Our main server was Ro but we were a group of 18 so help was needed and they did it flawlessly. Fast, efficient and very polite! Well done.

We came for a late brunch, and it did not disappoint!
Bennett was on top of everything. Mimosas and food were quick & delicious. He also hooked us up with cookies. 🤩
We enjoyed ourselves very much. I also shared contact information to my women's networking groups. The vibe is spot on. 👍👍

update: I used to come here all the time back when happy hour at 3p meant $3 drinks 4p meant $4 drinks, etc. The place used to be so busy. I went recently and it was empty. However, the food was good no complaints. I wish they would bring back their old HH because it was amazing. You used to have to get off work early just to make it because it would be packed. Things just havent been the same since Covid for so many restaurants.
