The reservation was made with an ease, but the food was super over priced I mean a $22.00 for an Avocado Toast. the food was over all good but i don't think it was any different from any other brunch place. The only thing that was excellent and that stood out was our server, he was friendly and very welcoming.

                                                                                        Is this helpful?

The waiter immediately started complaining about it and then made us wait forever for him to bring us coffee and then again forever to order. There is plenty of room for him to maneuver, and it was actually a perfect set up for him as well as us. After two hours, finally got up with the check and had to track him down. No one else would take it speaking of no one else, I was trying to change the reservations from 8 to 9 people, and the automated system would not let me talk to anyone of course, when I went onto, OpenTable times had changed. Not a good system.

Despite that, service was inattentive. The waiter seemed unfamiliar with some questions in the menu. As an example, chia pudding is listed with “seasonal flavors”. When asked about the available flavors, the waiter dismissively replied “the usual flavor”. We asked for berries that come with the waffle to be brought on the side, but the berries were simply omitted. We asked for whole wheat toast with the omelet, but it came with white toast. The restaurant is large and airy, and the food was reasonably good, but we have little interest in returning after the disappointing service.

It took 25 minutes for the waiter to take our order. Another 20-30 minutes for our food to come. AND IT WAS COLD. It was just breakfast...and the restaurant was NOT busy. This should not have taken this long. SO disappointed. We will NOT be back.

We had a sushi and sashimi platter as well as seafood platter with oysters, shrimp and crab claws brought to our table. This is in addition to our three course meal and plate of various desserts. Mario was attentive and all the wait staff were superb.
