Beautiful restaurant, nice location tucked away with lots of parking. We went for brunch and the food was amazing, I had the lamb sausage scramble and loved the balance of savory with jalapeños. Others in our party had the shaksuka which tasted, great balance of acidity from tomato with the eggs and feta. Daughter had lemon ricotta pancakes and they were the best pancakes I have ever had. Service was fantastic. One negative we got there when it opened and the floor was dirty, whoever was supposed to clean in the morning or the night before forgot. Small detail but overall great experience we will be returning.

The team there as always provided outstanding service. Very welcoming, attentive and so fun. Unfortunately the food was a little underwhelming (my chicken was dry and my friends’ side dish was cold). However, the holiday decorations were so fun and festive. Had a great evening celebrating my friend’s birthday!
