We had a girls brunch and the food was amazing!!! The popcorn chicken (spicy) and the chicken sliders were definitely some of the favorites. The drinks were good, I had margaritas and my friends had espresso martinis, all delish! Shoutout to chef Lambert, the experience was incredible.

I attended the Jazz Brunch. The live performers were loud in that little space, but they were great. The regular music in between sets was a good level.
