Me and my friends really enjoyed ourselves for Brunch. The food was delightful as well as the mimosas. Our waiter Jimmy was great and very attentive. I will highly recommend to come here for lunch and get the chicken and waffles. I will also recommend sitting outside to enjoy the nice weather and beautiful view. I will definitely be coming again.

Decent food. Super busy night with overworked wait staff, took about 30 minutes to get canned beer brought to our table, food came out about the same time. Overall decent experience given nice outdoor seating. Anticipate day to day experience highly variable based on if they have a showing in the attached theatre room which seats ~500 people.

Food was good! A little on the pricier side for some of the appetizers. Entrees were good. Everything about the experience was good except for the service. We waited a good 10 min before being approached by a server/manager. Which we had to make eye contact with to request service. I don’t like waving someone down, I find it rude. We didn’t get regular service until we ordered the bottomless mimosas. Enjoyed the food and the vibe, but the service was somewhat slow and at times non existent.

Great spot near the Ben Franklin Bridge on Columbus Blvd. Interesting interior space - old industrial look. Brunch was delicious with generous portions. Our wait person was very friendly and accommodating. Only disappointment was they ran out of Bloody Mary mix. We plan on using this venue for a post-wedding celebratory brunch.

Great value for money brunch spot. Food was incredibly hot when brought to the table, and it came out decently quickly, but it lacked flavor. Service was great and enjoyed the vibe. Windows perfectly blocked out all noise from the street. Would definitely return!
