    Went for brunch with a couple girlfriends and it was amazing! I unfortunately don’t recall our servers name, very nice man in his 20s. We each had a 2 course meal that included a drink and an amazing scone. The food was so good! We were all very happy with our meals and can’t wait to come back!

    Our waitress (was wonderful. Super accommodating and lovely conversation. She knew the menu front and back to make excellent reservations. The space too is beautifully decorated. The bartender made Stella cocktails. Would be nice to have a dairy free dessert on the menu.

    Cute place. Decent food, service and general value just isn’t worth the money. $24-$35 for drinks is wild.
