    We had two babies we brought to brunch for Father’s Day and the staff was very accommodating and thoughtful about where they sat us and allowing us to have space for our stroller’s was very nice. I would definitely come back here again!

    I wish I remembered the waitress name but she was great! It was a good ambiance and we were able to carry a conversation around lunch time on a weekday. It is inside the Laura Hotel. We had the lunch special which was an appetizer, main and a dessert. The Brussels sprouts > wings > mac and cheese, but all were solid. The main course we both got the braised rib over collard and sweet potato mash. My sister thought the mash too closely resembled baby food in appearance and texture. However she enjoyed the collards and rib. I thought the collards were undercooked but the mash was ok to me and the rib was good. The dessert was very small, which I didn’t mind too much because I’m always looking for just the taste of dessert and not necessarily the calories that go along with it. Overall, it was a solid experience.

    Tarsha was an excellent server (though very busy, so we rarely saw her). The management team was stellar in delivering food and checking in. Everyone there was really great. The food was not worth the price point, in my opinion, even on Valentine's Day. The venue itself is gorgeous.
