We went for jazz brunch before the theater and it was lively and festive. We all ended up getting the Eggs Benedict and a variety of coffee. The waitress was great and accommodated any manner of hot/iced, regular/decaf, with different creamers. She was wonderful. The food came out quick and hot and they also accommodated our desire to get next door to the theater efficiently. The bartenders, too, were lovely while we waited for our table. All in all a quick but fulfilling experience.

la Fabrica was amazing. I had stayed on the book g that it was our anniversary. We were celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary and they brought us two glasses of champagne when we sat down. Completely unexpected. The service was great. The food was amazing. We realized that they had a night club in the back and we had inquired about it in case it was cash only for the entrance so we can prepare and they gave us free access to enjoy our anniversary night. Really did make it memorable and so special for us. We appreciated the entire experience. Thank you All!
