Popped in on a Sunday. Had a sandwich from the brunch menu but the breakfast items looked good too. Enjoyed my turkey sandwich. Service was attentive. The outdoor seating was nice. Parking is the biggest challenge but that’s the whole area.

Amazing service, order was taken promptly and food was out fast. Had the fried egg sandwich and it was delicious. The pickled onions really took it up a notch. Can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu.
