Went here for brunch on a Saturday. Hostess and waitress were both lovely people. However, took about 30-45 minutes to receive food. Also, after I ordered a chicken sandwich, I was not notified till after everyone else at the table received their food that they no longer had chicken sandwiches. The waitress was very accommodating but still, clearly some issues in communication or in the kitchen. Overall food was decent, just some issues in communication or management.

One of the worst meals I had in a long time. Was highly disappointed. Even the service, especially since it was far from busy on a Friday night. Also the kitchen closed 30 mins from us arriving at 7:30.

We were really excited to come and the server was great. However, they let us know that they didn't have champagne and we made the reservation because of the bottomless mimosa brunch. We decided to leave but will definitely be back because the food, environment, and service looked great!!

I truly enjoyed previous visits to this location, often around the same time. On my most recent visit, we made a reservation and showed up 10 mins early. We were seated relatively quickly, but had to ask several times who would be our waiter. About 20 mins later, we placed our order with a kind and friendly waiter. It took us about 15 mins to get our bottomless mimosas, but another 10-15 before the waiter returned with glasses. After about an hour and fifteen minutes, we noted the party of 8 that came in 30 mins after us, had their full order, including drinks and entrees, while our small party of two had yet to receive our appetizers or entrees. I had to search the restaurant for my waiter, and when I inquired about the delay, he apologized but did not have a reason. He gave excuses that the kitchen was busy and he wasn't sure how my party's order was missed, but after another 30 mins the food came out. We never got our appetizers through. Moral of the story, pack your patience, it can get crazy in here but being polite to the start will help you get things done. I definitely wouldn't come back on a Sunday afternoon unless I'm in the mood to be disappointed.

The floors were very sticky as if something spilled and was not cleaned up, the music was extremely loud and the food was lack luster. The drinks were good and the appetizer crab fries was probably my favorite. They didn't have the avocado to go on my turkey burger and they were out of wings which I mean most people want wings. We sat down at 2pm and waited forever for our food we didn't leave until 430pm Overall I wont recommend and I wont return

My first time here. The location is fantastic. The food, sad to say, sucks. All of it. One of the worst meals I have had in Baltimore. It was 7pm on a Friday evening and the place was dead, which should have been a sign. There was not one other table seated. The waiter was a nice guy, but we would never eat here again.

The food was amazing !!! However..... it took 30 minutes to just get mimosas. And then an hour and 40 to get our food. That was basically the entire time of our reservation. Unfortunately the wait time overpowers the great atmosphere this place has.

We were there for brunch. Our reservation was at 1pm, we didn't get seated until 2:30. We didn't get food until 3:30. The food was okay but some of our items were over cooked and over seasoned. I wanted to use the bathroom before I left and the bathrooms were filthy.

My sister and I had our girls day today. It was both of our first time there. Food was amazing. Service was amazing! I loved the mimosa flight! And our server China was bomb! We will definitely be back

The music was extremely too loud. The drinks took about 30 minutes or more to come even though it was only 2 other tables in the establishment. The food also took a while. The service was slow although our server was extremely nice.

I was extremely disappointed in the experience. Being that I've given the restaurant a try before, and was open to giving it another shot, my last visit sealed the deal that it's not for me. Staff was not consistent, bar couldn't swap out simple things (example: vodka for tequila in a lemon drop) and unprofessional management staff.

I would not recommend. Tables we way to close together. They have picnic tables with be echoes and the waiter had to hop over the benches constantly. We went for early dinner, music was way too loud. Drinks were good. Food was disappointing. I got the ribs, baked beans and Mac. Baked beans were butter beans in a sweet sauce. Ribs are were okay. Mac was too similar to Kraft.

The service at this place is absolutely horrible. We were only a party of three; however the waitresses spent more time catering and taking photos with the larger parties. Our food took a very long time to come out and when it finally did - it did not come out at the same time. I ordered the shrimp & grits - when they arrived they were cold. My friends ordered several items that never came out and when we advised the waitress she just said “oh thats what the cook was talking about”. Never apologized or anything. At this point we were ready to go. We also paid for bottomless mimosas which we only received 2 carafes and minimal juice. They “ran” out of flutes so we were given regular cups. Even though all of the other tables around us had flutes. The music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk, let alone think. This restaurant could be great given its concept; however the lack of customer service will inevitably be their downfall. I likely will not be returning.

Where do I even start, there were so many things that were horrible. The table that we were initially sat at had syrup all over the table and chairs. We ended up just moving ourselves to the next table. The hostess was serving food all while still trying to seat incoming guests. The same hostess became our server after we waited for at least 30 minutes at our table. There was no indication as to who worked there because waiters were in their everyday clothes. Once we did place our order we waited another hour for our food. When it did come it was not even edible we shouldn't have even paid but we did get drinks and our hostess/server was really trying, I think her name was Mimi. We did pay and tip her but my friends and I all walked away so disappointed. The only have decent thing was the mimosas.

The service was very slow. The funnel cake was so hard I couldn't eat it. My chicken had no seasoning. The mimosas were good but took forever to come , not really unlimited with how long we waited .
