    Very low quality of professionalism and low energy. Arriving, the staff didn't ask if we had reservations or seated us. The waitress was forgetting our orders, and the restaurant was out of a lot of items from the menu.

    Guava. Now you and I both know that if you stopped doing brunch, you should’ve called the people who made reservations for brunch. We pulled all the way up just for you to tell us that we stop doing brunch. Be so for real

    Awful service. Was seated, set for 20 minutes no waiter came to the table. Went to the bar and front to ask who was my waiter. No one knew! We left. Been here plenty of times and never experienced this!

    The venue looked like it would be a great vibe. However, they were out of about 2/3 of their menu items going into a holiday weekend. Which our group was excited to try out. The bartender and host were extremely pleasant, and couldn’t help what was outside of their control. The tables and seating area weren’t thoroughly cleaned and sticky. We’re open to giving it another try on a weekend in lieu of a weekday, which may have contributed to the overall experience/lack of.

    Booked a reservation for Mother's Day brunch. The staff did not seem ready to offer any food or drink services when the restaurant opened. Our meals took over an hour to come to our table, while there was only one other party in the restaurant with us. The waitress was very nice and tried her best to keep checking on us while we waited for our food.
