Went for a Sunday Brunch with seven others. The food was very good especially the egg and shrimp frittata. The pancakes were extremely delicious. The service was great. I would definitely eat here again!!

Even a couple of times now. Food is always good, menu is short n sweet...the service and cleanliness needs work. Service is slowwwww. Seems like a family business but the vibe of the staff is a bit flat. Young kids work there but dont have the energy that's needed in a service business, which can hurt the business.

We got there just as they opened for breakfast on a Saturday. They seemed unprepared. Food was good. No beef or pork on the menu but otherwise fine.

Good food and nice vibe. The service was a little slow, but I’m guessing it was due to Mother’s Day. The staff was pleasant and we enjoyed our brunch.

Disappointing from start to finish. Barely a greeting from the hostess/waitress. Food was lackluster, the chef was kind enough to apologize and make another subpar version of the meal. Then someone offered us a refill on mimosas and NEVER CAME BACK. This place will not be in business long.

It overall was not a good experience. They were over booked. As they now personally take reservations other than open table. When my party and I arrived we had no space set up. When we were given a space to sit it was in a very tight and uncomfortable space. We were offered this until other parties left and they would be able to accommodate my party. The proprietor was unable to come and speak as she was cooking. The young lady in charge was very dismissive and short in her attitude. I was highly disappointed as I had such a welcoming time my first experience. However, I don't not forsee myself nor any of guests visiting this establishment anytime in the near future.
