    Cute place but not intimate. Kind of sports bars-y. Drinks a bit expensive and bland. Good lavash. Give it a try.

    The Easter buffet was great! From the bacon to the breakfast pizza to the grits, it surely hit the spot! Thanks for making Easter (and my friend’s birthday) a special treat! Kudos to Chef Chris and his most talented crew and to Deanna, our server, for taking great care of us!
