    New to the concept of a set menu but enjoyed the ENTIRE experience! Wish the cocktails were in a bit larger glass for the price.

    Great. The steak was perfect. It is nice not to figure what you might like with the fixed menu.

    The menu is short, but Medium Rare does it well. The food and the good value draw all types - large family groups, people on dates, friend groups of men or women of all ages and backgrounds.

    My new favorite brunch spot, and yes, the steak frites do live up to the hype! Everything was perfect here, from the food, coffee, dessert, and service.
