The food was just alright. I ordered the breakfast burrito and the potatoes were dry and tasted like reheated leftovers. Did not appreciate the waiter handing us the bill before we finished our meal (and there were other tables open).
I loved the space - cozy and warm. But the food was mediocre, although my burger was really good. Everything else was underwhelming, including the crab cakes, avocado toast, and BEC. The service was terrible - charged us for things we didn't order and a lot of miscommunication. And the bathrooms were gross! Overall disappointing.

The interior, maybe in the attempt to make it cozier, felt rather dimly lit, which would have suited dinner service better. For brunch, I wish it were just a tad brighter.
