    We went there for a brunch. The breakfast was over priced and taste like crape. Only the pastries were good. They charge $5 extra for cream with my coffee. And $5 to add strawberry to pancake which already was advertised strawberry pancake. Over all I would not recommend this place. Over processed and food is bad. Also I think most of positive review is done by the business itself.

    We sat outside at a table surrounded by pretty flower boxes under a canopy of trees. Service was great! Our shared appetizers were yummy (Brussels sprouts and calamari) and main courses were excellent! Shrimp scampi pasta was sooo delicious!

    Great choice for brunch. Service was very good. Able to switch reservation from outside to inside, given the heat and humidity
