    I celebrated my 50th birthday here during brunch hour. We had an amazing time and it was also a St Patty's Day event. The brunch was amazing. Everyone was satisfied with what they got. We had so much fun on the dance floor as well. We stayed here for about 5 hours having an amazing time with all the guests. Owner was very generous and kind. Definitely looking forward to going back. The Mexican egg Benedict was my favorite and the coffee is amazing.
