This is my second visit, first visit SUPERB!Second visit, TRASH! Our Server seemed a bit off from start to finish…She messed up all of our drink orders despite pretending to write them down. An hour in no food. Ask to speak to the manager, she comped our mimosa bucket and asked if we would tip her Server? My hubby is nicer than me. My tip… tell your customers if there will be a delay in their food. Most people will understand but to lie and say it’s being plated only to have the manager see there’s a problem with her computer we just got your order… piss poor! Won’t be back for a minute.

Let's get this outta the way 1st, I gave the atmosphere a 3 ? because we had a large party (prob 15-20ppl) and we were sat by the door where everyone walks through into the restaurant. I'm bot sure if they had another room or if it was reserved but it was cold that evening and folks were letting the breeze in, but on to the food stuff!I ordered the the Diablo seafood pasta or some combination of that name on the menu. It was lobster meat, crab meat, and shrimp in a red sauce. It was scrumptious and my only issue was that fit was not spicy as the name and description suggests. Nice big chunks of seafood tho and it was seasoned well. I wish it came with a piece of bread tho, that was the missing piece. The other dish pictured is the steak(I think it was the baseball steak but I can't remember lol), it came with broccolini and it sat on a slice of sweet potato. I only tested the broccolini and the sauce which paired great. The person who had that dish said it was good.Lastly was the dessert and drink. The dessert was a cinnamon and sugar cookie with apple cider ice cream. Ohhhh my stars was that delicious! I wanted to order another tbh. The drink was a Perfect Sour. That was extremely tasty and I did order 2 of those ?. Don't be turned off by the egg whites in the drink description....trust me it works!

I had a very good time at the place. It was a business meeting and it happened to be the day that phone service was interrupted for a lot of AT&T customers. A our waiter allowed me to make a call using his cellphone and I thought that was very nice of him. That was something he did not have to do and it was indeed very appreciated and the food was fast out and delicious .

We've been here once before, a while back, but hadn't gone back. Once we did, we remembered why we'd not gone back ... service is just awfully slow. And by slow, I mean having to chase down waitress for drinks. The food and drinks were good. If they could address service, it could become a regular brunch place, but ... Would recommend the food, but overall, not recommend the experience.

Went for Sunday brunch. Got there 5 minutes early. Requested high top the day before, not crowded but sat outside at a table where the roof was leaking onto the table. Waited 15 minutes and never acknowledged despite servers taking order for table of 6 next to us and tabbed out two tables of 2 around us. Not once did anyone acknowledge our presence. We finally left to spend our money elsewhere. Then got an email claiming we were a no show. No wonder as we were “invisible” to the staff. Terrible service!

The person who took our order was nice but the food took forever and when we finally got our food it was not what we expected. the food was burnt and did not taste good AT ALL! they flipped over my friend’s burnt french toast. it was 6 of us and i can’t say any of us were satisfied with the food or service. we will not be going back, that’s for sure.

Really good, a little pricey. We were seated in the back room, which was nice and warm, like a sunroom. I was pleasantly surprised that my orange crush was strong and tasty. Everyone really enjoyed their brunch dishes. It was a bit of a splurge, but worth it. A couple of my friends ordered Samoan donuts and I tried a bite, they were delicious. I ordered some to go, but when I opened them at home, mine were overcooked.  I'm not sure if they went into the container like that or continued cooking in the box. :( But the service was very friendly, and I would definitely eat here again.

The hostess was very dismissive. We didn't have a reservation, but the place was not busy at all, and we were set outside with no heat. It's 35 degrees outside. We left after 6 minutes of not being greeted by a waiter and freezing. Maybe it was a bad day for them.

Service is very slow, and they take a while to clean off tables. They don’t have the menu that is online, it’s a new year menu for the holidays.Parking: Kind of hard to find the restaurant
