    our server was great. however, the sandwich i ordered versus what was served was incorrect. so when i mentioned it to my server, he went back to the kitchen. and brought back the correct ingredients to add to the sandwich i was delivered. because our server said the “chef” didn’t want to remake the right one. will not come back.

    We were excited to try here based on videos of the boards. The restaurant is really dark lit, music was very loud. Service was not great and food took very long to come out and was cold. A table next to us walked out because of poor service. We will not come back.

    Terrible experience at their new location. We had a reservation and was honored in time, however, the service and the food were terrible. Our waiter was not friendly, not helpful and didn’t even take our order until we asked if we could order (40 min after sitting down). Food came an 1 hour and 15 later and the food was cold and presentation was not even good. Food was overpriced. Not recommended at all.

    So the food was fantastic… and the place was so cute…but although the wait service was friendly… they were overwhelmed… and the place wasn’t that busy… prices were a lil higher but the food was damn good … so a good trade off we thought… would definitely for again… just wishing the wait staff had more help… they worked really hard already ❤️

    I’ve been coming to this place since they opened. Every opportunity I have, I was there. To my surprise, they change the address, and they expanded the place. This might seem like a really good idea except they aren’t staffed appropriately and the service was super slow. Additionally, The breakfast is definitely not as amazing as it used to be. They scale down and it’s a breakfast that you can get anywhere else. Love when a business grow, but unfortunately, in this case, it wasn’t for good.

    Very slow service Pancakes were inedible Not freshly made , prepackaged and were hard and frozen , we couldn’t eat them Manager was nice to reimburse Not sure if they are just starting out or understaff but we were underwhelmed with the place It sits on a nice street and the actual place is very nicely decorated and all food items orders for the table comes out in a nice charcuterie type board . If service and food improves would up the star rating Rooting for them

    Greta food, very nice staff. But they are understaffed and it is quite a wait to be seated and even longer to be served. We could tell the staff was working really hard and going nonstop to keep up with the demand.
