Our brunch experience was very enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed what was ordered including the Shashuka, the Brioche French toast with berries, to which I added eggs, bacon and their crispy potatoes, and lastly the Basic Breakfast! We really liked being able to bring our dog and sitting on the patio.

We were there mid afternoon Christmas Day. It wasn’t to crouched and the service was good. Food was great. They have a nice patio dining area and an open air bar that were fairly quiet, but I did notice inside was kind of noisy due to all hard surfaces. Overall very nice experience.

The Christmas day brunch menu was the standard menu for every day. But the service was exceptional, and the food reliably good. I would return again, whether it’s Christmas day or not.

Atmosphere was really nice, the workers were all amazing and very attentive. Price is a little bit on the pricey side, but for the amount that you are getting, it is not bad at all. We love this place and will continue to come here!!
