Restaurants was almost empty because of fire evacuations. Food and service fine but portions unappetizingly huge.

Requested outdoor seating as my friend had a dog. Chilly day and requested 3 times for the patio heater to be turned on before they finally did it, probably 20 minutes later. I had the Jumbo Shrimp Salad that came on a large bed of lettuce with TWO (2) shrimp!!! What? Husband's pancakes were good but served with a very small side of maple syrup and had to request more twice. Friend's omelet was good. Will not return.

I found this restaurant by accident, I was to go to an event but had to cancel, but I took a friend a few days later and loved everything. We were running late for our reservation, called, and was told there was no problem. We were treated like royalty. The wait staff was wonderful, and the food both presentation and taste were fantastic. I plan to introduce other friends to this restaurant when I see them next year. There is parking behind the restaurant.

Went for an early Sunday brunch and it was pretty quiet. The menu is great, the service was attentive. We couldn't have asked for more.

They were slammed the night we went. The twin brothers, who are the owners, are lovely, but they were struggling to keep up with the completely packed restaurant (Montana Ave. Christmas Walk and a large birthday party). But we will definitely go back.
