From the minute we walked in the hostess treated us with such kindness. The establishment is beautiful and we sat outside in the patio. There are misters and fans and the music selection was fire!! Bottomless mimosa with all the different flavors was amazing!! Our waiter( Steven) was such a gem & ohhhh my goodness the food!!! The food was so yummy! We tried the fried mac & cheese balls (10/10) we had the short rib omelette (10/10) and a slice of French toast (10/10) If you haven’t been to this place, it’s a definite must try !!!
