    We love this place. The only reason I rated the food slightly lower is that they really don't have much kid friendly on their brunch menu, and they were not willing/able to accommodate what we thought would have been some pretty easy substitutes. But it's a great atmosphere, good food, great wine selection, the best smelling candles ever, etc. Parking is painful, but don't let that stop you from trying. Highly recommend.

    Friday late lunch is a favorite way to start the weekend and it did not disappoint for Valentines Day. Capital cosmos and local beer to start our dining followed by onion soup and steaks - perfection. Dessert was yummy coconut pie to share. Mario our server was attentive and on point. Parking behind Dunhill garage makes this a super easy trip to Uptown.

    The places was noisy. Patrons should be adviced on their noise level. Otherwise the atmosphere of the place is negativelly affected. It is a restaurant not a bar. Smell of the place was akwards as well.
