Was excited to eat here, but didn’t live up to expectations. Food was ok, service was bad. Had the cheese and charcuterie board. Liked the bread and the Brie cheese, but they had a relatively tasteless salami and farm cheddar. Didn’t pair well. The salmon dish was ok- would have been better if the salmon wasn’t overcooked. I had asked for medium rare. My wife’s bucatini with shrimp was good. The dessert was ok- we had cookies and cream. The real downer was the service (or lack thereof). Poor attention to detail; didn’t have a good understanding of the wine list and what to pair with the salmon dish. We also ate breakfast here the next morning and it was not good. The salmon in the smoked salmon frittata was fishy and the simple breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes) was aptly named. Nothing special about it. Again, the service was non-existent and took a long time. The bright side- the ambiance was very nice, especially being able to sit outdoors for breakfast.

Cocktails were very good. They didn’t have the daily special, which was disappointing.

The food 10/10, the service 10/10, my only complaint is the seating - it’s meant to be casual/lounge like but that ends up being the worst brunch set up ever. My husband and I were sat at a table that both had giant velvet chairs (one chair, one booth side) and both were so deep set that you either were 1.5 feet away from the table or sitting uncomfortably with no back support and they were both so low. Everything we ordered - the cinnamon roll, bacon, croque madam, blueberry pancakes, fresh squeezed orange juice, the green juice, a latte and their black coffee. Not one bite or drink was disappointing. We will be back we will just request a traditional table next time.
