    What a gem. Had so many good reviews, just had to try it. Met with friends here for NYE brunch. We all had the eggs Benedict. Mine was the smoked salmon, while the other chose the peaneal bacon. Eggs cooked perfectly. We asked for our hollandaise sauce on the side. That was a good choice. Nice polite service. Can't wait to come back again. Definitely make a reservation, as it's very small.

    The smoked salmon benny was delicious and of high quality. The smoked salmon was a nice thickness and I loved the hollandaise sauce! The salad was light and the roasted potatoes were great. My husband liked his benny too (with peameal bacon). The perfect brunch meal that filled us up until dinner time. I appreciated the reservation system and the friendly staff. The restaurant had gluten free bread available.

    Food was great - always delicious with quality ingredients. Service was disappointing as we had to request things multiple times (e.g. water, coffee refills, ketchup) and there was just a general lack of attention.

    Our first time for brunch though we have enjoyed several dinners. The food is delicious, our poached eggs cooked to perfection. Our only criticism is the coffee - with food this good, an espresso machine is a must.

    The best hidden gem ever! The food is absolutely amazing! Head chef Jason is definitely far ahead of the curve. His uses of flavors and design are just top notch. Add the fact that they make you feel like family upon entry, this is hands down the best restaurant around!

    We found the food and service to be very good. The only "complaint" was I found the noise quite high; probably due to a lack of soft surfaces to absorb/dampen sound. I would certainly eat here again

    We enjoyed our dinner at your establishment very much. The food was delicious and the server was great. We will definitely be back. One small thing that you might want to address. As we were entering, the first thing I noticed was the front door was very dirty. Not a great first impression. All it would take would be a little Windex to make a difference.
