The champagne brunch was wonderful! Love the atmosphere, love all the plants. very friendly and attentive service. Love the cozy style. Very well served plates and delicious!
The staff was friendly, the food was average, but there was some delay with our drink and food orders. The ticket never got submitted to the bar or kitchen? We had to ask about it and a new ticket was created. It was just odd because we were one of two parties outside and the inside was almost empty.
One of my favorite places to eat in Fullerton! Great folks and food.
