    I have been here several times and it never disappoints! Great food, great service, and a great environment! Can be crowded on the weekends so either come on a weekday or make a reservation on Open Table :)

    Always good food. Good atmosphere seems like it’s a little louder nowadays so it’s hard to converse.

    The waiter was friendly. The drinks were delicious, the food was good but it’s a little pricey for lunch.

    We attended for a Sunday brunch meal around 11 in the morning. Our food was outstanding and different than another thirsty lion brunch we had attended a month before. The restaurant was about half full and it was a great experience.

    Brunch was good but the food was not hot- maybe because it was Mothers Day. The waitress was good but service slow. Will go back again to see if any better.

    Excellent food. Service was slow, probably r/t Mother's Day & party of nine 90% high top tables. be sure to specify when making reservation. I was unable to sit at the high-top table they had set up for us. Staff was very accommodating and we sat outside. Lucky it was still early in the day. It was a pleasant morning.
