Every time we're in town, this spot is a must for Sunday Brunch. The live music, friendly service, and good drinks keep us coming back!

Haven't been here in a year and it's easy to see this place is going to close soon. Food was terrible and many random people just walking in and out of the kitchen from all the surrounding businesses. This place is no longer a restaurant but a hangout for all employees that work in the area in the kitchen. Too bad, this place was good back in the day. I'll never go back.

Sat for 40min without a single wait staff speaking to us while they waited on others that sat long after us. Wond up leaving at the hour mark as no one still hadn't spoke to us. Worst service I have had in a long time.

Barman, Ethan, was top notch. He treated 4 annoying fruit flies to the time of their lives. The manager from Memphis was just as good. Thank yall for a bar to ourselves.

Stopped in while celebrating our honeymoon. Initially service was good. She said the creamsicle martini was amazing and so was the chicken and honey crepes. My drink was very very watery and she came outside to check on us long after we were done with our snacks and mostly done with drinks. Crepes were dry and very small portion for price. When I asked her if there was ice or something in my drink she smiled and said the bartender had accidentally put ice in it. I am wondering why you would serve something you know was made incorrectly and instead of apologizing and offering to correct it, you just nonchalantly admit what happened and gladly take our money. With that being said, for one, you should be grateful that we left a tip. For 2, my note I left you on the receipt must have been good enough for your managers to allow you to walk over to the bar on the other side to show off and complain about except for the fact that you seemed a bit surprised to see us at that bar…. Nothing impressive here. I would recommend elsewhere.

Food - Empanadas were the worst I’ve ever had quite frankly. The garlic shrimp was also awful unfortunately.

Service - They only offered 50% off when we told them about the shrimp, never been told that in a restaurant as a response to food that was not liked.

Atmosphere - There was nobody else here on a Friday night, seems like it’s better for brunch. Definitely would not recommend for dinner.

Updated review...my previous review, which I left below, was 5 stars (from years ago). I went last night and honestly its pretty sad what has happened to this place.
When we arrived, the place was empty, I've never seen it like that before. Sat outside, there were only 2 tables. Put in our drink order and 3 apps to start. Devil eggs, brushetta, and truffle fries. Server brought our drinks and we didn't see him for another 30 minutes. He came by our table and asked how we were, we told him we had not received anything yet. And would like to order some additional food items. Ordered tacos, chicken crepes, wontons and Mac and cheese. After about 10 more minutes we got the deviled eggs. We ordered another round of drinks. Our server told us sorry he was apparently making our drinks, making our food and serving our table, which is terrible but he was not doing a very good job. After about 20 more minutes we got the wontons and tacos, delivered by someone else. All of the food items did taste good up to this point as well as the drinks. The server came by asked how things were and we told him we were still missing 2 of the apps we originally order, the brushetta and fries, as well as the crepes and Mac and cheese. At this point we have been here for over an hour. Another server comes by and says I'm sorry for your wait I'm going to discount your bill. We had a vegetarian at the table so at this point she still had nothing to eat. Finally the brushetta came out and the chicken crepes. Both of these food items were not good. The crepes were dry and not good and the brushetta was bread with just chopped tomatoes. Server comes by again we tell him we are still missing the fries...again the first thing we ordered and the Mac and cheese. At this point it's been 2hrs. He brings the fries about 5 mins later. They are hard and dry and not good. Comes by again we tell him we are still missing the Mac and cheese. He finally brings that. It was clearly just microwaved based on the boiling temperature of the bowl it was in. Not sure how it takes so long to microwave something. It tasted ok, nothing special. We get the bill, over $100 not discounted, the server that said they would discount it was the one we told when we had our card ready to pay. They walked right by and kind of waved us off. I've eaten here maybe 50 times. It's been a while but it will be the last, none of the food was the same. I've ordered all of these things so many times. The service was terrible. Our server said the owner, who also owns the bar next door, shut down the kitchen at the other bar like a year ago and now this kitchen is serving both restaurants. Whatever the reason is this is an experience I never want to have again.

(Original review)Fantastic as always...never had a bad meal, drink or service here. When friends come to town I always bring them here.

Tried to eat here for brunch yesterday as the eggs Benedict looked wonderful. Walked in and stood for a good 5-10 minutes with no eye contact or response from any staff. Mind you, one customer or staff sitting at the bar and only 1 table inside. We kept saying, “how do we get a table to eat here?” Bar tender did not even acknowledge us and some other female was too busy talking. Some other person, not sure if it was staff or not, consumed with his laptop at the bar. What a shame! We had the money to spend and we are great tippers. We left and will not return as we are locals and we will not recommend to any friends.

Stopped by for some brunch.It was late in the afternoon just after 1. I was feeling lucky that they served brunch until 2!! It was better than I expected based on the appearance.I got in to town late so I just kinda wandered around downtown and someone suggested I give this place a try. Great serving brunch until 2!!!At first glance it looked a little worn down, maybe at night with the lights and patio it looks cute but during the day it's age is showing.My server was great and recommend a few items.I would go back again price was good and so was the food!I ordered the breakfast tacos, with chorizo and came with a side of fried home style potatoes. Yummy and a Bloody Mary!
