This is a great spot to meet for brunch on a rainy weekend. Lots of room inside and a cosy wood and brick ambiance. Six of us ordered off a brunch menu with lots of variety and pretty reasonable prices for a down town eatery. Free coffee refills and decent decaf too which was a treat. Our server brought everything promptly and gave everyone the right meal which was impressive. She also divided up the bill correctly at the end between 3 couples and took a good group phot of our family reunion, so that was service above and beyond. My smoked salmon toast was excellent and I substituted a salad for the potatoes, so that made a good healthy brunch. Would definitely return as you can reserve ahead.
