The food was delicious - all the dishes, and good servings. Even a simple Caesar salad was exciting with a somewhat spicy twist to the dressing. Dessert was remarkable. Drinks were very good. The servers and everyone who worked there were so pleasant and helpful. It's a delightful find, and parking and access is very easy.

Great place to brunch with friends. A bit loud for talking before 3pm. Background music is nice and then rev up after 3 for the day party. I would return. The back patio must be open if not it’s hot up there.
