Went to New Year’s brunch. Fantastic! The sweet potato hash was one of the best things I’ve eaten! My only critique is that my husband didn’t care for the Bloody Mary mix. But, he just switched to the mimosas!

arrived for a 10am reservation and did not get service from our waiter Jude, for 40min; had to ask another server about where our table staff was; thankfully Brandy brought us our drinks and continued to provide back up service. I enjoyed the food and the small plate offerings, I just wished our service was more consistent.

Food was amazing (best Caesar salad I’ve ever had), service was very good, got everything right, unobtrusive, perfect. My only complaint is the tables were pretty close together and the acoustics are bad. Hard to hear across the table, silverware and glass noise reverberated. Could do with some sound panels to change the acoustics.
