Our group of three had an enjoyable Christmas Eve brunch. It’s a great vibe with the high ceilings, but never seems to get uncomfortably loud. Food and cocktails were tasty, and thanks for bringing back the hush puppies!

It took a long time to get our food. The risotto was rather bland and unimpressive.

I found the food to be overly salted, poorly paired (main with sides), and oddly overly spicy. My dinner partner was so disappointed with his main meal he sent it back and then had to wait nearly an hour for another dish. The server was very kind and took the charge for this entree off our bill, but the evening meal was quite disappointing.
Ben ParisResponded on 6 December 2024
