The brunch was fabulous!! The Yorkie Bennie was delicious and a good sized portion! It came quick after ordering! It was fresh tasting and temperature of food was perfect! The service was top notch and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were meeting to catch up and chat over brunch and we probably overstayed our welcome, however, not once did we ever feel rushed and made sure to thank the staff for letting us hang out to finish our visit! Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and would highly recommend it for any meal! Thanks to everyone at Liberty Commons for a lovely afternoon! 🎉👍

Decided to give this place another try for a family lunch. Same thumping music as dinner hour except for a random Pink Floyd song, which was odd but preferred (ha ha)! Service here is friendly enough but just not up to par. I asked if a particular cocktail could be served without the single large ice cube and was told no--no other suggestions or checking with "mixologist" so had a $26 glass of basic pinot grigio instead. Pacing of dishes was better this time and everything was tasty and nicely presented. Two of us ordered a second round of beers which came when lunch was almost done. At this price point, I expect a higher calibre of service. Nice decor.
