There was little to no service- no one came to refresh our drinks. We basically had to go to the bar and ask there cause our server was chillin in the corner and not attending to his tables. A group walked in and there was no host at the front so they went looking for their own table

This was a very nice brunch, but unfortunately I don't eat as much as I used to so the unlimited go backs and $40 price point was a bit much for us and no one offered us a mimosa. The only issue I had were that a mariachi band. They were just super loud and playing right behind our table for a long time because the people at the bar like them. It was just too loud.

Our waitress Janette was exceptional. Was very attentive and kept checking in on us. Even though we were there for Sunday brunch, she would make her rounds to refill our beverages and ensure we had everything we needed. She was amazing!
