    Our breakfast was delicious! We both had the eggs Benedict chorizo. Food presentation was excellent. Plenty of potatoes on the side. Couldn’t finish them. Beautiful ambiance. And Sergio, our waiter, was kind and attentive. Will definitely go back!

    I wasn’t expecting much from the food, but it was surprisingly delicious I got the crabcake sandwich and it was one of the best crabcake sandwiches I’ve ever had. The Brussels were a little overdone.

    The bar was a little loud. My 70 year old parents didn’t appreciate that while having a nice meal. But we really did enjoy our food.
