Our server, Q, was an absolute legend. They navigated our indecisive group with the patience of a saint and a killer sense of humor. Honestly, Q deserves a raise...or at least a free Mimosa! Overall, it was a pretty memorable brunch experience. The Double Fried Buffalo Wings are fire.

We sat at the bar, got our food before our drinks, I got the breakfast tacos and asked for no bacon, received the tacos with bacon and the pancakes weren’t done at all, tasted like batter … the expresso martini didn’t taste like there was any alcohol in it and overall the service was a 2/5.

Food was decent but our waitress Cynthia was stellar. Check ins, options, laughs everything about who she was is top tier. I’d come back for Cynthia’s service alone!

I made reservations for a table of 12 for my birthday. The table was sticky the water had floatys in the, food was ok, I think the menu is all over the place , the customer service was horrible, she very came to check on us unless we requested, no one picked up the empty glasses. The waitress spilled the drinks on the table. Our food came out an hour later. I will not be coming back! Mind you I paid for a reservation which I found odd because it didn’t go towards anything but to hold a table.
If you like poor customer then this is the place for you!

We stopped here as a party of 4 for brunch while visiting CT for the weekend. The restaurant had a nice vibe and caters to young urban culture with a nice twist to their cocktail names and birthday song. This is probably more of a cocktail and dessert spot because food did not appear to be their specialty. For one, we waited more than 45 minutes before anything that we’ve ordered was placed on the table. To add insult to injury, when beverages did arrive, it was only for 1 person. For some reason the waitress had beverages for other tables on her tray, instead of all of the beverages that were for our table. So we got a chance to watch a fried sip on her champagne and orange juice while we play the waiting game again. The other drinks arrived with the food. The food: the cheese on top of my Philly cheese steak omelette was dried hard and the omelette was warm, the Greek salad did not have feta cheese so they replaced it with Parmesan in which we made them take it back and the rib eye steak with eggs was mehhh. I will say the cream cheese stuffed French toast was pretty good and that was all.

If you’ve been to the Hartford location do not expect the same experience. I walked in and was immediately disappointed, but decided to check it out anyway. The host was going to seat us downstairs and I asked about going upstairs because I figured it would be similar to the Hartford location. I was told that it was closed but I could go up and take a look. I go upstairs and see people seated, it was more vibrant so I asked if I could just sit upstairs, the bartender said it was ok. She then gave the host a face (as if we were in high school why did you bring them up here face). I do not know if the food was good because after waiting for 40 minutes I had to go. We ordered the fried deviled eggs, the Benny and an omelette, maybe they were waiting for the chicken to hatch eggs because it definitely wasn’t busy. I did get a mango lemonade that was delicious when I was ready to go I said I would pay for the lemonade, I expected an apology and the drink to be comped—my expectation was wrong again. Anyway never again.
