    The food was good and the waiter was very good. The only issue was very limited selection for a gluten free diet. Would definitely recommend it.

    Great place for a meal. Not fancy, but we enjoyed the food. The noise was painfully loud, but we still enjoyed our dinner. Fried chicken was fabulous as was the Thai noodle salad. Note, the menu is a tad limited, but the quality of food makes up for the abbreviated offerings.

    Food was perfectly fine but the surly and charmless hostess who apparently cannot smile and the server who completely neglected us (we had to leave without coffee) made the place seem pretty pointless. Avra next door is far better.

    Loved our meal. Top 5 all-time onion soup and the fried chicken was delicious. If the seating was more spacious and comfortable I’d give this meal a solid A but a well-deserved A- is nothing to be ashamed of.

    I was hopeful when I booked… and not disappointed. Wild mushroom ravioli was such a refreshing take. Creamy, tangy thanks to the roasted tomato, then finished with the peas & Parmesan. Reminiscent of a carbonara sans pancetta. Add a little grilled chicken for protein and you’ve got yourself a terrific supper.

    We were looking for a restaurant for Sunday brunch within a reasonable walk from our hotel. Based on reviews, we booked a reservation at Lexington Brass. We were seated immediately. Our server was excellent - attentive and accommodating. I chose their omelet which is listed as an egg white omelet. No problem with my request to have whole eggs instead. The filling was delicious, caramelized onions, feta, mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Loved it. Highly recommend the Lexington Brass for Sunday brunch. Other meals would probably be just as good.

    We chose this restaurant because the brunch had a combination of traditional breakfast items in the brunch menu and egg white omelets. The eggs were real and fresh and fluffy, the egg white omelet was amazing and they gave you a ton of bacon. The service was excellent.

    Food was great but service was very sparse - there was maybe one other table occupied at the time we were there, but it still took 10 minutes for someone to notice that we had a card to pay despite seeing the server pass by multiple times and waving the check.
