   This was my second visit to Gypsy Kitchen, and it was just as fantastic as the first! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for a night out. Our waiter, Andrew, was excellent—very helpful throughout the dinner, offering great recommendations from cocktails to dessert. We revisited some of our favorites, and they did not disappoint. The hummus is amazing (pro tip: order an extra piece of pita bread). The potato dish and pork shoulder were equally delicious, packed with great flavors. For dessert, we tried the pear tart, which had more of an apple pie texture than a traditional tart, but it was still enjoyable. I also had an Old Fashioned, which was well-made and a great way to round out the meal. Overall, a great experience once again. Highly recommend this spot for excellent food, drinks, and service!

   We savored a delightful brunch that was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and creativity. Paired with expertly crafted adult cocktails, the experience elevated our date to new heights. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting to enjoy such incredible food and refreshing drinks. It truly was a memorable date brunch filled with exquisite tastes and wonderful moments.

   Always fantastic. Small plates are expensive but every single one of them is worth it.

   Everything we had was excellent and unique. The octopus and the hummus were the standouts for me.

   We were given a table by the bathrooms and under a large speaker. We requested another table but we were told there wasn’t any. Instead they offered to lower the volume of the speaker. After we sat down, the volume went back up. We could hardly hear each other and people bumped into us on the way to the bathrooms. We have been there a few times but after this experience we doubt we will be back.

   We were so excited to have brunch at Gypsy Kitchen! The food looked great online and felt like a nice Sunday afternoon vibe. Unfortunately, after arriving on time for our reservation we had to wait about 20min before we were seated. Once seated, the waiter wasn't very friendly. We felt a bit unwelcome and rushed. He did ask if we were "first-timers" but didn't take the time to offer any info on the specials or the Restaurant Week menu. Also he didn't come back to check on us. The food was served by the busboy so we didn't see him again until we were almost finished with our meal. He then shared that there was a QR Code card on the table we could scan whenever we were ready. This didn't make for the best dining experience. Thankfully the food tasted good, but I don't think we'll come back.

   Aneka, we appreciate your insights regarding your brunch experience and are glad to know you enjoyed our food. We understand the importance of timely seating and attentive service, and I apologize that we fell short in these areas during your visit. I'll address this with the team to make sure that's not an issue again. Your server should have informed you about the QR code payment system, which is in place for our guests' convenience. I hope you will consider visiting us again, and if you can make it back, please ask for a manager or me so we can ensure you have an excellent experience in every way. I hope to see you someday.

    Food was good, but not great and certainly overpriced.
