    It's always a treat to dine here for brunch. The food is always scrumptious, well prepped and attractively presented. Our waitress was A++. The additional staff were attentive, professional and friendly. One day we'll dine for lunch or dinner but for now, brunch on the weekend is a real treat!

    The breakfast food is outstanding. Eggs and pancakes were exceptional. The only problem is the service. There were not enough wait staff to accommodate the people in the restaurant. It took 15-20 minutes to put our order in.

    Food was very delicious! Chow Eggs Benedict was the highlight. However, the pumpkin cold brew was depressing. The ratio of cold brew to cream foam in a small glass was not great. The pumpkin cold brew did not taste like pumpkin either. It was mainly vanilla flavor. So skip on the cold brew.

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch alfresco. The cute little patio offered sun or shade seating making the space welcoming. Food was outstanding and OMG get the onion rings. Service was on top of things and super friendly. This place goes into rotation now ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
