Our server Natalie was very good and efficient. Our appetizers and dinner we excellent. The only complaint we had is it seems the booths have gotten smaller, there are more tables and close to each other and it was very loud in there.

Cordial service & great experience. Perfect brunch spot before holiday shopping. The noise level was great - very different than the evening crowd/energy. Excellent breakfast and lunch options (French toast for my friend and salad with a side of salmon for me). We’ll be back!

The restaurant was very busy, it being a Friday less than two weeks from Christmas. The server was attentive throughout our visit. The food came quickly and was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, given how busy it was.
