    Good lores this place is noisy. Staff is SUPER NICE, but lunch is better than breakfast/ brunch. Breakfast is also super slammed with people. Will look to other options for breakfast

    A fun restaurant with many food choices. The food was excellent, as was the service. It was crowded when we visited (a weekday at lunch) which made parking very challenging and the restaurant was quite loud. Despite these issues, I would recommend a visit.

    Food was not up to standard. I ordered a dried cranberry salad, which contained beets, instead of cranberries. It was pretty bad.

    I arrive a minute before my reservation time and the hostess told me they were a out to give my reservation away. I reminded them that i areived on time. I found that they send a text rhat needed response that my table was ready 8 minutes before but i was driving so i could not answer. Service took a long time. They would check in you and then not return for a long period of time. I ordered the vegetarian omelet and when I cut into it, I found sausage in my omelet. I flagged our waiter who told me it would take a second to get to me so another staff came and check on me and I told them I am vegetarian who ordered a vegetarian omelette and they put meat in my food. They made me a new plate which took a while. I notice the staff checked on other tables around us but did not come back to check on us--the odder they got wrong. Food was in large portions. They do have separate page on menu for plant based food which I appreciate.
