Service and food was great. Very loud for a Sunday morning, but means it’s a popular brunch spot.

The price to see a concert is good, the dinner menu is priced affordable and the waiter service is excellent. My server check on us to see if we need anything else regularly. There is no parking except on the streets, so get there before a little before 6:00 pm to find some close street parking space !
