    We had two appetizers - cauliflower and oysters - both were amazing. Main course was red fish. Has a kick from chili but was delicious! We completed our meal with the Napolian cake - really unique and wonderful. All homemade dessert from a pastry chef! Would highly recommend this place. If busy with larger tables, can get noisy. All the staff were amazing! In a cool neighborhood. A very nice unexpected find to dine!

    Food was good, server was good, but we felt rushed. We had barely started to enjoy our before dinner cocktail when the food arrived. I would have appreciated time to enjoy the drink first. Not a usual complaint, I know, but we felt very rushed.

    First of all the waitstaff have choreographed the drag brunch to a fine art. From the seating, ordering and the delivery of your meal they were exceptional. It can be somewhat “chaotic” as they take care if you around the performers and the often nimble and energetic routines. Even with a fully packed house with MANY large parties I never felt our smaller table was overlooked or ignored. Our wait-person was so friendly and welcoming. She couldn’t have been better. The menu wasn’t as extensive as I would think but I can see where they would need to limit it because if the crowds for Drag Brunch. However, everyone can find something they’ll like. Our food came out hot and was delicious. It did not seem to be overcooked or reheated. It appeared everything was made to order. The drag performers performed classic drag with all the typical drag anthems and numbers enjoyed by many. The performers were no “spring chickens” though you wouldn’t know it through their routines. They were lively and energetic all in heels. The one performer who did the death-drop amazed me. Plenty of fabulous costumes. The only small complaint is there are so many people trying to tip the entertainers and the tables so confining it was more than the talent could do to get the cash AND perform. But I understand a “girl’s gotta eat” and they did an admirable job of accomplishing both.
