The food was great and the restaurant was great too. The bathrooms were meh but they were clean! Just water all over the floor from the sink but that doesn't impact how tasty the food was! And the drinks were so good. Not too sugary but definitely still tasty. I recommend coming here! Our waiter was so nice as well even with him being very busy because lots of people showed up while we were dining in.

We had an excellent experience for Easter brunch. The food was great and the service was attentive and friendly. We had GF blueberry pancakes (wow!!), morning scramble, and the rancher's hash. Each was an excellent dish with lots of wonderful flavor. We will return!

First time visiting. We were there for brunch and ordered Avocado Toast, Poke Bowl and a Burger. Food and Service was good. We really liked the choices. Hot coffee was actually hot! Several of the bathrooms needed cleaning. We will return.
