We went for brunch and loved our entire meal. We shared the beignets and had old- fashioneds and shrub life to drink, all which delicious! For our mains, we had the barn burger, the porcini mushroom burger, the fig flatbread and the tomato and burrata. All the food was served at the right temperature and tasted amazing. So happy we got to experience this and look forward to recommending it to others and coming back soon.

Our service was great. The only reason for 4 vs 5 is that the gyro meat was loaf sliced rather than cone cooked.
