    This was a hidden gem for brunch! We have been many times for dinner, but never for their breakfast menu. You have to specify breakfast because you are seated in a different area for breakfast vs. lunch. We wanted breakfast Easter Sunday, so we were seated quickly, service was quick and outstanding. The food was great, and lots of options. We really really loved breakfast here! And they take reservations which is always difficult to find for breakfast!

    The food and service was really exceptional. I had the pork ribs, and they were amazing!! The pit master baked beans were really different with the variety of beans included in the recipe, but none the less they were still really good. I loved the fries and it’s just enough seasoning on them! One downfall is they were doing trivia which I wasn’t aware of when booking my reservation on Opentable app, which was a bummer because it made the experience a little weird while walking in and feeling the need to be quiet as if I was walking in to the library. Other than that, the cocktails were really good as well and I suggest the Rum Diary!
