    We love brunch there. And sitting outside. Even in the summer, is very pleasant with the umbrellas and fans. The menu satisfies those who love pancakes and those who want to experiment with new and different egg dishes

    Quiet Sunday night. It was great. Presentation of the food was great. Tried the salmon and the halibut. Both I would try again. Flies were a lot.

    Absolutely horrible service. Our server rarely checked in with us. Would take us 30 min to get a drink, over an hour for our food… would never recommend this spot to anyone.
