First, it was packed but the hostess seated us within a couple minutes of our reservation which I appreciated a lot! Our server (I believe his name was Andre?), was very attentive and gave me an excellent suggestion when I asked him about a couple items, "Get the Herb Roast Chicken". I did. And I was so happy. It and the truffle potatoes were amazing. I cleaned the plate which is not normal for me! If you're reading this and considering going here....forget any other ideas and go here.

We had a good time. It was a bit loud on the patio but it is to be expected since it was brunch and people were having a good time. It was very busy, but the food came out fast, hot and delicious.

Service was pretty good, nothing great or bad. Food was just ok. It felt like a tourist trap trying to feed the most average taste buds. The menu tries to be slightly upscale but misses the mark.

Reserved a table through the Open Table app. Requested a patio table but was seated inside. The appetizer menu was great! Our dinner menu wasn't that good. Burger buns were soggy and was sad to find that a $50 steak was served with fries. The tacos were delicious. Our server was nice and attentive. The music was a little loud inside and it made conversation at our table a little challenging. Would come back for drinks and apps but not dinner.

We made a reservation on Open Table 15 minutes before arrival. The hostess greeted us promptly and we were seated within 10 minutes, 20 minutes before our actual reservation time! Our server was attentive and our food arrived quickly once ordered. It was hot & delicious!

We did have to wait 30 minutes with a reservation, but the food was good and we were served quickly once sat. We visited on a Sunday and there was a DJ playing good throwback jams! Not a quiet brunch spot.

Great atmosphere and interior design. Noisy and lively heated patio. I love the modern look to this place. Our server forgot about us and our requests quite a few times….we waited a bit for our mimosa refills, never came back with our hot sauce, and didn’t ask how everything was when we got our food. The omelet was bland but the potatoes were delicious. The menu looks great but Wish they had more gluten free options. Will probably come back next time and grab a drink or 2 at the bar. Will go elsewhere for food

The food was amazing! The waiter forgot almost everything we ordered, served two tables that came in after us before getting over. Forgot appetizer and brought it at the end of the meal and had an attitude when we turned it away. Just a jerk. Tip was put on bill. Let’s just say we didn’t add an additional tip. No Karen’s in the group, just a nice group of people who went out for a nice meal. I don’t know what his deal was.

The food and drinks were well-prepared and arrived at the table rather promptly. We also had a good server, backed up by her team. Of particular disappointment though, was making a specific reservation for Standard (not outdoor) seating and then being seated on the outdoor patio. It appeared that walk-ins were being given the indoor tables.
