Once I ordered, my food was delivered swiftly. However, service in general was very slow and inattentive.

I saw this restaurant while walking in the neighbourhood. Booked for Sunday brunch we arrived 45 mins early for our booking due to a change in plan and the manager kindly seated us without any problem. The menu has a great choice, my husband had the steak and eggs and his steak was cooked as he asked and perfect. Good portion size not too big or small. I chose the avocado toast and added a poached egg and asked for bacon instead of the feta and sprouts and they happily swapped it out. If I had one criticism I was disappointed with the toast it says thick cut multigrain toast delivered from the bakery and I thought it would be proper handmade bread but to me it was sliced bread from a standard pack in the grocery store. We had the original Bloody Mary which was great.
