If you give people 90 minutes at a table, then you shouldn’t be able to reserve at 2:00,2:30,2:45,3:00 just to wait for a hour to be seated. It’s unorganized and overwhelming to the people that reserve a seat for a certain time, not to be seated.

My reservation was for 2:30; however, I didn’t get seated until AFTER 3:30. The food was great. Our waitress was awesome. Overall, it was a good time. Just didn’t like the wait time if a reservation was made.

Food was good and service was proper. I didn’t care for the seating time limit of 90mins but still a great experience. Likely to return!

The restaurant was bright and clean and the vibe was really good. The food was ok, but nothing to get overly excited about. There weren’t enough options for breakfast and the menu layout left a lot to be desired. The other issue that jumped out at me is the automatic charge of 18% gratuity on all orders and 20% for parties of 4 or more. Breakfast shouldn’t cost $80 buckets for two people that didn’t even include an alcoholic beverage. Not a restaurant that I would go back to but seems to be a trend with minority owed business now that needs to be reconsidered. I think this practice of imposing such high gratuity will “price-out” the core patrons out for this locations.
