we were celebrating a friend's birthday. Great food and service.

It was mostly good, although the happy hour drinks came out smaller than the same drink after happy hour, which doesn't seem to be the spirit of the occasion. The only noticeable negative was them pushing us out as the very last table at only 9:30 pm, which felt very very early to be closing.

It’s been a while since I’ve been there (due to pandemic) - but it seems the quality of food has gone down…even the waffles :-/ I was there celebrating my birthday with friends. We all ordered the unlimited brunch. The highlights: bottomless mimosas, omelette station, kale salad, Mac n’cheese, bourbon French toast, and lemon ricotta pound cake. These items were consistent in presentation and taste. The lows - mainly because of its inconsistencies in how it was cooked/taste are, the sliders, fried rice, chicken & waffles, the fish & grits, and Eggs Benedict. The waffles at the waffle station were off that day as well - they were very bland. I blame the waffle batter used, because the waffles in the chicken & waffles were just as tasteless.

Wonderful place! The food was freshly made and flavorful! Staff was so kind and amazing! Definitely recommend and will be returning!

The menu is not as big as it used to be but the food was good overall and the service was fast and efficient.

The waiter took our drink orders and basically disappeared for 20 minutes. After several attempts to get his attention he finally came over to take our order. He place the appetizer order and then disappeared again, this time for 30 minutes and then took forever to actually put our entree order in. He seemed a bit aloof. Nice but not the most professional. I frequent this restaurant often and generally the service is good but on this occasion the service was less than great.

Service was slow, inattentive and somewhat unprofessional. Food was fine.

My first visit here for brunch, I tried pretty much everything on the unlimited menu. The chicken and waffles was probably the worst, unless you’re a fan of soggy fried chicken. My favorite item was probably the omelette, which are freshly made to order. The fish and grits were tasty but needed salt. The plum granola, pound cake, pork Benedict, mini burger and kimchi rice were all pretty tasty. The mac & cheese was a little loose for my taste but had a nice cheesy flavor. Overall, a pretty good first experience and the service was excellent.

The food was really good however, my soup came out lukewarm so I didn't eat it, the small taste I did have of it, was pretty good. The service wasn't the most amazing. It was very clear our server was either inexperienced or very disinterested in serving our table. We were seated across the room from a very large party, which seemed like they were screaming across the room, so it was hard for our party to talk to each other at our own table without nearly screaming. The restaurant itself was very bright and airy in the section we sat, very well lit and tasteful decor. The person who brought out our meals was amazing and definitely recommended the brunch, we'll be back to check out the brunch.

We found the perfect place for a pre-show gathering here. The happy hour shareable foods and Sangria really hit the spot. Got us all happy!
