First time and we loved this neighborhood spot! Food is as good as it looks in pictures. Our server was attentive, helpful and kind. The only reason I deducted one star is because when we arrived with a reservation, we were told the wait was 45min. The host made no attempt to accommodate us. Fortunately another host stepped in and we were able to get seated without having to wait. The music and vibe was fun and our server turned the evening around and made it a positive experience. I would definitely go back!

Varied brunch menu is flavorful. The 3 eggs Benedict choices are delicious with a choice of fries or salad. Early afternoon was quiet, but weekend evenings are usually lively and occasionally noisy with live music and good vibrations. Food is well prepared, presented simply and delicious. If one can get to dessert, the choices are very tasty. Menus are seasonal but will always have the neighborhood favorites.
