10/10 recommend. The hosts bring the vibe and the energy! My friends and I ordered the Rum Punch tower and it did what it needed to do. After the brunch, we continued the vibes in the Biggie Room! If you haven’t been there, what you waiting for?

We asked the staff if we could sit outside and they set up a lovely table in the gazebo just for us. Very accommodating. I had the steak frite and it was very good. The brunch special comes with a cocktail and I found it to be a good value. I will definitely go back
