Took my wife and 1 yr old daughter here for mother's day brunch after church. Food was great I had the eggs Benedict my wife had avocado toast. Also got a pancake as a side which was fantastic highly recommended if you like pancakes. Their breakfast cocktails are amazing i had the Ruby Yacht. Now here was the most amazing part the chef randomly covered our check and wished us Happy Mothers day. Will definitely be back.
