The food just keeps getting better, service is impeccable, and the staff are the amazing. Finally tried the chicken and waffle (it is hard not to order the short rib benedict) and I now have a new favorite. The staff all make you feel like family and never make you feel like you are rushed. But the bacon - come for that if nothing else (with some bourbon).
