Wonderful place to kick off the New Year with their NYD Brunch! We've been here for the brunch before but this was our first NYD experience. The food was solid. We had a sticky bun and biscuits with jam to start that were off the charts. The kids mac and cheese was top notch and the drinks were A+! Both of the two orders of Eggs Benedict we ordered had over cooked yokes and not enough hollandaise sauce, but they were tasty and our server brought extra sauce on request. Speaking of our server, Hannah was awesome and always attentive to our needs. She really put the experience over the top! We will definitely be back both for the weekend brunch and on New Year's Day 2026!

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable
