The food is good (note- good, not great, not amazing), but the wait was excessively long. We waited at least 30 minutes for drinks, another long stretch for appetizers and then again for our entrees-- and two of the drinks we ordered never arrived. Also, the music is too loud for pleasant dinner conversation. It just takes away from the evening when I have to yell to be heard-- and have to hear the other patrons also speaking too loudly so they can be heard. This was my second time there, so perhaps the wait was a result of being short-staffed and not a usual part of the experience. However, I won't be returning for dinner any time soon.

I had such a lovely time at brunch with my friends. The food was good and the bottomless mimosas were indeed bottomless. The ambiance was enjoyable and the staff were very nice and attentive

This was my first time dining here. I had heard positive things about BW beforehand. However, the ambiance, the service, the vegan options all exceeded my expectations. I've already booked my return.
