Too loud and being seated next to the door and being blasted with cold air everytime the door was opened was no fun. Most likely not coming back.

We had a lovely brunch today after a long flight into town. The food was delicious, served very quickly and wonderfully presented. Our server was friendly and engaging. We were even able to sit in a booth to watch Hawkeye football. Highly recommend for people who are looking for healthy, delicious, gluten free options.
