The food was delicious. My steak was a little underdone initially but came back fine after a short trip back to the grill. Would be nice if I could order a smaller steak when getting a combo. Seemed overpriced, but it was delicious and appeared to be high quality. They had a good crowd so I guess you charge what the market allows.

Had a GREAT brunch! The service for our table of 11 was friendly and attentive. Our server did an incredible job and was super nice. Everyone loved the food, plus the whole restaurant is gluten free. Really cool brunch menu! The atmosphere was beautiful and we are so excited to come back and try more of the menu 🥰

Loved this restaurant. My only negative was the noise inside. We were a 3 generation party of four who wanted to enjoy limited time together. The table configurations and energy level inside would’ve that hard We ate on the patio which was just great and we had a wonderful time.
