It was quite cold inside (Feb 1) like there was no heat. The coffee makers probably weren't set up b/c it took more than 10 minutes to get a coffee. The food was very good - the Breakfast Burrito was generously large.

Booked for brunch and when we arrived we walked into a completely empty restaurant except for one other table. Heating was not working despite wait person assuring us the heat was on. Food was mediocre at best and combined with the cold we couldn’t get our bill fast enough to leave. In addition the coffee served was awful. Cream was milk and no one offered sugar or sweeteners. Waitperson recommended the biscuits as a signature item and they were tasteless. I would give this a definite pass if you are looking for a brunch spot.

Regular pricing a little expensive but what isn’t these days? Fun but kind of loud music - wasn’t great for my 90 year old mom lol but for younger people great.
