   I made a reservation for brunch to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and upon arrival, we were quickly seated. Our server introduced herself shortly after, but I immediately noticed that she seemed to focus solely on my mom and did not engage with me or acknowledge my presence. While the food was good, the service could have been much faster. It took roughly 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and I had to ask for a water refill twice before receiving one— just before we left. Where I had the biggest issue was with the way my server handled the check. As I was paying for my mom’s birthday meal, I requested the check, but the server handed it directly to my mom instead of me, even though I was the one who asked for it. My mom passed it to me in front of the server, and when I handed my card to the server to pay, she took it and handed it to my mom again. My mom then had to clarify that I was the one paying, but the server never acknowledged the mistake. I couldn’t help but feel it was a bit disrespectful, as it seemed like she either didn’t recognize that I was the one paying or perhaps assumed I was too young to do so. Additionally, an 18% gratuity was added to the bill, which seemed unusual for a party of two, and I'm unsure whether this is standard practice or a decision made by the server. While the food was decent, the overall service left much to be desired, and I left feeling uncomfortable due to the lack of acknowledgment and respect from my server.

   Muy bonito el local con buena decoración, atención bien, me pareció que los platos de entradas tienen una porción muy pequeña para el costo. Los platos principales estaban completos y las porciones demasiado bien y muy ricas. El resto excelente

   Food was not consistent, chicken was room temp and partially dry, steak was overcooked, lamb chops and sauces were good, but overall food quality was not at par with prices.

   They were out of half of what we wanted both in food and drinks. Who runs out of yellow mustard? After the waitress told us “no we’re out of that” for the third time I wanted to leave. Our first time there and was really disappointed and not impressed.

   never leave reviews, but wow this was so underwhelming. Ordered 6 things and everything had something wrong with it. Meatballs were frozen, rice was undercooked, steak was raw after sending back twice, and my mashed potatoes tasted exactly like instant mash. Ambience was very pretty, but that's nothing if the food isn't great. Only giving an extra star because the best thing I had was my cocktail.

    Food needed more flavor/seasoning. Chicken and waffles were good, croissants were great. Scrambled eggs were runny, steak was bland. Drinks were awesome. Service was subpar, could've been bc it was busy. Ambience was great, music was good. Staff was friendly.
