Unfortunately, a bit of a disappointment for brunch. Bland scramble, $8 side of potatoes never delivered, and Bloody Mary thin and without any garnish and added spice. Lack of effort overall.
Awesome dinner - awesome atmosphere - very friendly people and staff!!!
Great good, Service is outstanding!
