   Came here for the first time this past Sunday for my bdy brunch with 7 friends. Cool NYC vibes and decor! The host and servers were very helpful from the time we got there.. checking to make sure we were ok! Great for bdy gatherings- You can enjoy the music and still hear each other for conversation! Not sure how it is later night for conversation.

   They didnt inform us until we ordered that they we’re completely out of chicken which, given their menu size. Only left a few options, none of which 70% of my party could eat due to dietary restrictions. No other compensations were made. The food we were able to order was poor quality too. It wasnt busy but staff felt frantic. And the music wasnt as good as its been before

   Their website touts a high energy and structured 90 minute deadline for guests. It was super laid back and normally that would be amazing but we had a flight to catch. The service was very slow but very nice server and amazing food. Dj was some average guy on a laptop- not what it seemed based on the website description. Overall beautiful experience! Music was awesome. Food even better!

   We went for brunch as we do every Sunday as we like to try different locations with new food. This restaurant came by way of recommendation & I must say it was highly disappointing. The brunch menu consisted of only 4 items all priced over $25 with the exception of toast. To include unlimited mimosas was an additional $40 which makes your brunch $95!!!! Yes $95 for brunch, what a joke! Needless to say we opted out of the unlimited option & ordered $30 chicken & waffles! The chicken was small, the waffles were chewy and flavorless and the presentation was non existent. This place gives the vibe that business isn't doing well therefore they will overcharge customers to keep the doors open. I dine out quite frequently & money is not the issue so long as there is value in what its being spent on, & $95 for brunch is simply outrageous especially when you can take 150 steps to the next restaurant and have brunch with drinks included for $45! Myself or any of my friends will not revisit this establishment

    Unsure of where to brunch I came across this hidden jewel . My bf and I had an amazing time as we closed out the celebration of his Born Day . Our host Kiss was beyond amazing . The vibes started at the door of arrival the energy throughout the entire establishment was very inviting fun and energetic , as for the entree’s we went with the steak /eggs & chicken /waffles w/ peach mimosas, Hennessy Margs , and bday shots 🔥. Far as music the Dj definitely took us in a ride !!! If your looking for a nice brunch with amazing vibes in the city this place will not disappoint… we give it a 10/10✨
