Feels like a funky, quirky outpost of a bygone area. Casual setting, thoughtful food preparation, and a delicious outcome.

Popped in for lunch at the counter. Great time and sandwich-grown up grilled cheese- was fantastic. Each had a glass of wine and shared cheesecake for dessert. Wait staff was great as always.

Waiter was a bit aloof, bur kind. Seating was not very comfortable. Food and wine flights were good.

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.

Had a great brunch on New Years Day thanks to Richie. The food was great and the buffet well stocked. We enjoyed everything from fried chicken to doughnuts and delicious cocktails. For a Sunday brunch, I was surprised at how NOT noisy it was. And also, I’m not sure if was saying goodbye to 2022 or what, but as I made my second trip up to the buffet, the people around the restaurant looked happy and seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves- I’d like to think it was the ambiance, helpful staff that pointed me to a delicious dessert I hadn’t tried, and all the rest of the great food.
