    We had a reservation on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. Our food was fresh and flavorful. The holiday drinks were cute and tasty. Unfortunately, we were sat near the patio where they kept opening the door to tend to the customers outside making us cold. Had we been asked if we had a preference on where to sit I would have given them 5 stars in every category.

    The brunch was fabulous!! The Yorkie Bennie was delicious and a good sized portion! It came quick after ordering! It was fresh tasting and temperature of food was perfect! The service was top notch and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were meeting to catch up and chat over brunch and we probably overstayed our welcome, however, not once did we ever feel rushed and made sure to thank the staff for letting us hang out to finish our visit! Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and would highly recommend it for any meal! Thanks to everyone at Liberty Commons for a lovely afternoon! 🎉👍
