Four of us had brunch on New Year's Day. Our meals came in a reasonable time and were nicely presented. Pancakes, Breakfast Burrito and Poached eggs royale were very good. We also ordered the french toast to share which was amazing. The coffee wasn't so good. The restaurant was not very busy at the time. Brunch menu has lots of options.

Fantastic food and service! Holiday music was a little loud but we still enjoyed our meal. Booths are comfortable but a little tight if you have more than 4 adults. We were a party of 5 and will request a round table next time.
