Terrible experience. We went for Sunday brunch specifically for their advertised “Sunday drink deals,” only to be met with rationing, condescension, and microaggressions from both the bartender and our server. For context: we were a calm, respectful group enjoying brunch and responsibly taking advantage of their advertised deals. Over the course of our visit, we had approximately three rounds of well shots and mimosas—standard for a brunch setting. Yet, we were treated as though we were out of control, which was not the case. The staff charged us for drinks they never delivered, claiming they were “pacing” us. Pacing is not their responsibility unless we are disruptive, which we were not. The bartender even justified this by saying, “We will be held liable for what happens outside of here.” This is nonsensical and shows a lack of understanding of basic service standards. None of us are minors; we are all adults capable of managing our consumption. Although we eventually got food, nearly half the menu was unavailable—no pancakes, waffles, burgers, or sandwiches. How do you run a brunch service without staples like these? To make matters worse, what little they did have took an eternity to arrive. It’s clear this place is poorly managed. If you can’t even handle basic operations like maintaining your menu or timely service, what qualifies you to dictate how customers manage their consumption? Focus on getting your own house in order before overstepping with unnecessary restrictions. This is the only place I’ve experienced that denies paying customers service without cause, undermining the very deals they use to attract patrons. It’s both embarrassing and unprofessional. If liability concerns outweigh the ability to provide proper service, perhaps offering drink deals isn’t the right fit for their establishment. We won’t be returning.

It was empty on a Friday night. My food was over salted, my husbands steak was disgusting, and the service was poor

Great drinks and space is trendy and cute but that is it. The service was terrible, server didn’t know the menu at all and when we ordered drinks she kept acting like they didn’t have that when it was on the menu. She also brought us 1 menu to share amongst 4 people, forgot our appetizer and then tried to charge us for it. When we asked her to please remove the appetizer from our bill she said she was so sorry and she would put it in a box to go…not take it off the check. We maintained we would like it off the bill and didn’t want the appetizer fries that had been sitting in the kitchen over an hour now (she let us know it had been sitting there and she kept passing it). It’s no wonder this restaurant is empty while all others in Mueller area thriving!

The atmosphere of this restaurant is adorable - super cute and aesthetic. The service however wasn’t great. I’m not sure if it was just the timing of when where were there (lunch on a Tuesday) or what but the service was very slow, not very friendly, just very bland and didn’t have a ton of knowledge. They were out of a couple things which is fine but I’m not sure why as it wasn’t the end of a super busy day when it would make sense to be out of something. It wasn’t busy either so it’s not like they were slammed with several tables there was only 2 other tables the whole time we were there. The food wasn’t spectacular either it was just decent - not great not bad (the chicken on the Cesar salad was way too salty though). Overall, it was very average to below average experience.

Waiter was extremely nice!! Definitely recommend this place if you’re out for the day with your animal as they have a dog food option as well as pet-safe foods on their regular menu (and super pet friendly!)

Not a good experience. Food was blah and service was the same. This restaurant seems like an afterthought. Visited two times with the same results. The coffee is atrocious. Kinda like varnish with cream. Place was empty both times. I think I know why.

We made a reservation on Open Table and when we got there, one of the workers told us “We’re closed. Leave.” and when we told them we had a reservation, they said “I don’t know where you made your reservation but we’re very closed.” It was extremely rude and if they are actually closed, they’ll need to fix it on their website because I went to their website to make a reservation and it redirected me to OpenTable. Even their Google Hours say they’re open until 10pm and we made reservations at 6:30pm on a Friday.
