    Went for brunch. Made reservations and seated promptly upon arrival outside on patio. After a brief wait for service (it was busy) orders were taken and promptly served through the remainder of the meal. The food and drinks were fresh and tasty. Glad we chose to sit outside because inside was very loud and busy. We went inside to go to waffle bar. We lingered after our meal and server continued to stop by to see if we needed anything and we appreciated that. Never felt rushed. Will return.

    The Sunday brunch was delicious, "fancy," and not an overwhelming amount (think of a generous tapas plate, but for one). I had the pupusa Bennedict. And my friend really enjoyed the pecan monkeybread and the taco bar. With the balance between an eclectic menu and a down-home waffle bar, I think you could bring anybody here and everyone would find something they like.

    We had the all-you-can-eat Bottomless Brunch and between us had well over half of everything on the menu. EVERY dish was excellent. My favorite was the Shrimp and Grits, but everything was so good that I can't recommend any one dish over the others. Our waitress was personable, helpful and efficient - a real gem. We'll be back... often.

    Small group of friends gathered after a long time apart. We did bottomless dinner and tried at least 2 different dishes and all four desserts. Plus drinks tax and tip about $60 pp. neat atmosphere, sufficient choices for our vegetarian, well crafted cocktails and great pacing. Overall an excellent experience

    We enjoyed every dish we tried. Since they are all small plates we tried a lot of things all for one price per person. There were 2 of us and we were seated at a table for 6 in the bar area probably because that was what was available at our reservation time. It turned out to be a great location and plenty of room for all the dishes. Food arrived quickly each time we ordered something but we weren’t rushed and could enjoy our meal at the pace we wanted.
