The menu and the options are well curated and is great for brunch. I don’t know why the service is average. They are probably short staffed and are not able to manage the crowd efficiently. We went in with two toddlers and we were seated almost immediately. But they said it could take a while for our waiter to be with us because he was on a break! And it took 25 minutes for someone to even come and get the order. The kids were getting cranky and impatient.
