    My husband and I went for brunch on a Saturday. Overall we had a great time. The food was amazing! He got the steak and eggs and I got the steak frites. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. They were seasoned perfectly and cooked to the right requested temperature (medium and medium rare). The frites were well seasoned and hot. The eggs were perfectly cooked as well and fluffy. The bread was okay but nothing to rave about. The mixed green salad was fresh but the dressing lacked flavor. The fruit salad was also fresh but the pineapple was definitely not ripe which was a little disappointing. My husband started with a Bloody Mary which was good. The mimosas were okay but definitely way too much orange juice and pulp. Our server was not very attentive and at times it became frustrating especially when we wanted more drinks. Overall we will definitely come back.

    The sourdough bread was incredible. Felt like I kept having to hound the waitress for more butter lol the salad was really nice. The plates are very small however, you do get a second serving that comes with your meal. I opted not to use the sauce on my steak or my fries, the sauce was just OK. I got it on the side. We had a nice dinner, but not some thing I think I’d go back to.

    The ambiance is good. The restaurant is tight lots of tables. The steak is a cheap cut of meat. The fresh fries are delicious. They give you a second portion once you’re done. However it’s a surprise, not sure why? Our server was Holly she was great. The menu consist of 3 things, salad, steak and fries. The end

    Nice ambiance and value if you have a craving for red meat and fries. Cut of steak is similar to sirloin, flavorless

    This was our second time in. We came in late on Valentine's Day and still got 5 star service. Our server Luis was attentive and made sure we had a special evening and the manager, Marina was a very welcoming host. This has become our favorite spot!
