    Do NOT make the mistake of dining here. I made a yelp account just to post this review it was so bad an experience. Had Easter brunch here, right away the boom-blasted pop music was so painful to our ears as soon as we walked in the door. Fun for a nightclub but not 11am brunch. No one at my table could hear each other talk the entire hour we waited for our food. Asked the staff to lower the volume, they refused as it was part of the "experience". It took our server 15 minutes to greet us and he shared with us he did not know what Easter special we were referencing. Our server had no idea what the Easter brunch menu was- it took him 3 visits to the table to confuse us enough to spend $30 per person on cold eggs, dry toast, 1 strawberry cut into several pieces. After taking our order, the next time we saw him was when he dropped off the check. Never once checked in when we had our meals, even when half my husband's meal was 20 minutes late to be delivered on a separate plate. We had to practically beg another server to offer us butter for the dry toast and salt for the cold eggs- she said she'd be happy to bring us those, she never did. The only saving grace was Leah the manager who graciously gave us a 15% discount and didn't charge for our orange juices (apparently the server forgot to even add them to our check). Totally a waste of time and money. We all had headaches after the pounding music, wish we'd just stayed home.

    Great day for a rooftop brunch! The food was delish, the service was good and the atmosphere was terrific. It was our first time having brunch there, definitely will be back and I highly recommend giving it a try.

    We asked to sit on the quieter side and were pleased that we were able to converse normally. Our waitress was excellent and besides being very responsive and friendly she brought our attention to a prix fixe option that was not listed on the menu. Food was very good and we left very satisfied with our experience

    The holiday motif / decorations make a big impact ! They did a great job of getting into the Christmas theme. The brunch food was pretty good - the breakfast pancake tacos and crunchy French toast were our favorites. The service was slow because we said we needed a few moments. We waited for some time for coffee to start us off - we warned if you ask for a few extra moments to think you are likely to wait double to triple that & then the wait staff don’t always check in on you even when it’s not fully busy ! also if you ask for real sugar for coffee you might be better off bringing your own - they had plenty of artificial sweeteners though ! Overall the company of friends and convo always helps any place - glad we celebrated the new year together with a pretty view :-)

    amazing food & drinks! The service was not great, especially with the restaurant not being relatively crowded. the best part of the dinner was getting copies of our pictures being taken!
