Food was great! Drinks was pretty good as well. You will leave tipsy if you get the mimosa pitcher lol don’t let the size fool you. Very high traffic during brunch on Sundays but didn’t affect service much. Only complaint is that you have to walk far to get to the restrooms

We really enjoyed this restaurant. There were lots of large parties and it was very loud, but the food was delicious and the service, from Fredy, was extraordinary. We had the avocado dip appetizer, which is very limey. Don’t think guacamole. It was bright, light, and creamy with a good selection of dippers. The glazed pork chop was perfect. It was accompanied by mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It was elevated comfort food. The grilled salmon salad combined a perfectly grilled salmon filet, topping a salad that had avocado, spinach, romaine and grape tomatoes. Eating light gave me a chance to split a dessert. We had the brownie and ice cream. Yum!

Good food and good service esp. considering how busy they are. They were very kind to us and were concerned about my wife who has back problems and did their best to put her in comfortable seating. Always enjoy going there. Can be a tad loud as they are so busy, and for good reason!

We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was wonderful. She was able to recommend several menu items. I had the Baked French Toast (Brunch Menu) and it is fabulous. Very custardy, lightly browned and drizzled with caramel sauce. Garnished with fresh Strawberries and Black Berries. Definitely worth a return trip!

Food was amazing, oysters, fish dip and grain salad, and scallops - it was a lot but a perfect meal - and it was split between two. Our server was knowledgable and helpful. Our first drink was not great, it as a new lavender drink but the margaritas after were great. I will say it is pricey - 2 people, 4 rounds of drinks and the food mentioned - but we knew it wasnt going to be cheap going it :)
