First time here for dinner, been many times for brunch. Food was excellent as was service and ambience. One note, it would be great if there were a vegetarian main course.

I've been here several times and the food never disappoints. But they are cramming too many tables in and the noise level is uncomfortable. It is difficult to hear your companions
