    I booked this for my daughter’s 17th birthday with friends. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the food - and the waitstaff was very attentive. Thanks for making it a special night!

    Things quieted down as the brunch crowd started to leave. It was nice that there was no pressure to leave. We sat and chatted for a long time after lunch. Service was great.

    Our server was lovely, the food was the best brunch we’ve had for a while, and the seating spacious and comfortable. I had the huevos rancheros and the balance of salt and tang was perfect for this dish. Our kids dish was a straight up cheese and red sauce pizza, which was delicious with cheese that stretched. The mimosa had the right balance of bubbly to OJ, and diner style steaming black coffee made us all smile. Definitely an experience to repeat!
