The inside is fairly plain, but decent and clean. The outside is cute with all the umbrellas over the seating area. We sat inside only because it was chilly. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated, but we waited what seemed like an extremely long time for our food. It was a busy place, certainly, but couldn't keep up.

We all enjoyed our food very much. One item on the menu should have had allergy info and didn't, but thankfully we asked....

Overall the food was good and a nice selection of menu items. Unfortunately, we were at a table near the kitchen and it was very loud. In addition, there were gnats flying over and on the salads.

My wife chose this place for their gluten-free options and positive reviews, and it did not disappoint!! Natalie was the best server ever! The manager was accommodating when we got there, and the food was fantastic! Our kids loved the watermelon juice, and I loved the root veggie juice. I could go on and on. What an amazing brunch!! Thanks, Natalie and team!!
