   We had our first book club brunch here and it was fabulous :) Beautiful atmosephere, helpful staff and all in all a great time. Only negative I will say is I do not think the wine flights are worth it. They are tiny uneven pours , would not do that again. We had 3 people do them and nothing matched as far as liquid content. Just buy the glass or the bottle !! :)

   The servers were attentive. I appreciated the fireplace and portable heaters. I wish the eating area had a ramp instead of the step for ADA. I noticed that the ramp was on the side but was blocked by a table with chairs.

   Booked the reservation for 2:15, got seated on time then told at 2:30 that there was a private event at 3 so we had to clear the area.

   Asked for a better server as ours was MIA … thankfully received Sam who was a veteran poised and competent server who saves our Easter . Amazing service amazing ambiance . Wish they had entertainment on a day like Easter but we could hear Trevor’s music so it created a vibe .

   The setting is nice. The Live music was a plus. My fish was salty. We had several different waiters that didn’t check on us enough. I probably won’t go back.

   We went for Easter brunch and ate off of their prix fixe menu. We had the carrot ginger soup which needed more of a flavor profile and the truffled pasta , which was lacking any truffle flavor. We did find a few truffle shavings but most of it was just various mushrooms. Everything was just ok, nothing memorable about the food although the location was great. Parking in that area was super difficult so heads up to plan a few drive arounds before you find a paid slot.

   Great venue and excellent food for an Easter Sunday afternoon with my lovely family celebrating my husband birthday as well. The live music was an amazing treat while enjoying our surrounding and food.
