    We made a reservation for 17 people and were squeezed at a table that barely fit our party. When we asked the hostess why we were at such a small table, she answered “usually people don’t show up with their full party so we put them at a table for less people”. I have NEVER heard of something like that! The food was great, though the waiter must’ve forgotten about two people in our parties meals — they were brought out after the rest of us had already finished our brunch. The ambiance was amazing and food was delicious, but definitely will not be back with a large party. It was so uncomfortable to be squeezed into a small table that was clearly meant for about 12.

    The salmon was amazing and the portions were generous. My guests had the chocolate cake, which was huge. My only complaint is that it’s very hard to see the menu due to the lighting. I wish the restaurant were brighter. I like that the table and chairs were disability accessible.

    they said that 3 of the drinks from the menu are not available because they are transitioning to the fall menu. Service was terrible. Food arrived late and no apology. Their staff seems to be way to young as well. Not a good experience food wise.
