First time brunching at The Mockingbird, and it was amazing! Fantastic service and standout dishes. Those Buns Dough—brioche cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting—were the perfect start. Sweet, indulgent, and unforgettable. The Rise and Shine (pork belly fried rice with a fried egg) was packed with flavor, and the Tots Alot (tater tots topped with pork sausage gravy) was equally impressive. Amazing food and service—can’t wait to come back!

Staff was warm and friendly. The food was innovative and approachable at the same time. The space is unique and the open kitchen is fun to watch. I may have dimmed the lights slightly and put on a little music, but otherwise, the room was lovely. Would definitely return. Probably many times. Don't skip the house-aged ham or the Solomon cocktail.
