    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.

    Our waitress took too long to bring items we requested while we saw her standing around talking. Otherwise we plan to visit again

    Great service by Fern! Brunch was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (the creamy spinach is a yummy touch), friends had the pork chop (huge portion), eggs Benedict with ham, cooper breakfast. No complaints!

    The charcuterie board was fantastic. We had the Delmomico, burger, spinach ravioli and the lobster/shrimp ravioli. All 4 meals were really good. The service was good but there were little things that could have been better.

    The atmosphere was very nice. There was maybe 4 people working ( host, bar tender and two waitresses ) service was extremely slow. Our meals didn’t come out together and one member of our group had to have her green beans come out packaged to take home!
