Went back to the pilot for brunch with a friend after an initial failed attempt, and this time the service, food and whole experience was excellent. We sat on the patio and was a very hot sunny Sept , but were in the shade, and very comfortable. The server Jack was friendly and attentive. We both had the scramble that came in a skillet with peppers, onion and feta, with toast and green salad. It was delicious. The only thing I would say on the negative is one of the cherry tomatoes was off but all else was great. Would definitely come back

The service was impeccable, prompt and professional. The portions were good, though the prices for each dish too high. Cannelloni tasted good but not much meat inside them, it mostly had cheese and that was on top. Tortellinis were a good portion. The butternut salad had good flavour.
