It was just okay. Food wasn’t bad, but wasn’t amazing either. The big downside was our service….almost ignored the entire visit.

The short rib was dry. Caesar salad was described as elevated but it wasn’t, and the tempura anchovies were over battered and puffy, not light and fluffy.

My friends and I attended brunch and enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was wonderful. The avocado toast was perfect. All of my girlfriends’ food was also delicious. We had an amazing time while sipping mimosas and chatting for most of the morning. Will definitely be returning again!

The food was great — the only complaint is that there should be more vegan options. It is for that reason I didn’t rate the food 5 stars. The non-vegan dishes we had were excellent. The avocado toast could have been more toasted — it was more like avocado bread.

Food could use more flavor, burger was bland, but truffle mac n cheese was overly flavored with truffle? Wine selections were great. Good place to have drinks and apps, don't do a meal. Good vibes.
