    Food and ambiance was great. Service was a bit slow and the brunch cocktail list is pretty limited. Overall great experience though!

    Service was not impressive. Food was average but I guess I was expecting more based on how everyone recommended it. I probably wouldn’t return.

    Enjoyable atmosphere with interesting decor. The food was delivered quickly and was great. The seating was rather intimate with the other patrons. Table are nearly arm-reach of one another. I was privy to the conversations of both adjacent tables. Did not enjoy this aspect of the experience but overall, a satisfying experience.
