If you don’t mind the traffic noise, I recommend sitting outside under umbrellas, sipping mimosas and people watching. Friendly staff and great food. Always a winner for Sunday brunch!

Good food, somewhat crowded restaurant. Service was limited in that there were too few servers and getting attention of ours was a little challenging.
