    We came for brunch after church with a friend. The service was exceptional from the moment we walked in the door! Our server, Jared, was attentive, funny, helpful and charming! You can't ask for more. Our food came out pretty quickly, considering the place was packed! My husband had the garbage bowl (or something to that effect) and our friend and I both had Benedicts. They were fabulous. Oh! Have one of their fun mimosas! We'll be back!

    I was hesitant to come here with kids...I couldn't have been more wrong. From the gold"fish" tacos, the cool chocolate swirl milk our waitress made, the doodle pads... they were so accommodating to our party, it was wonderful. And to top it all off dinner was very yummy!
