    We always enjoy brunch here. Our server today was Jazmin. She was so good to us and very professional. I hated to ask but as I was cold under a fan, she moved us with a very kind attitude. Because I have hearing issues I am always grateful to be farther from the front and music. Food and drinks were delicious (cocktail, beignets, quiche, eggs en coccotte). The staff have always treated us very well and we are happy when Kathy is there to say hello! Thanks to kitchen and all staff for a nice Easter brunch.
