    Brunch was delicious, we'll definitely be back. The restaurant is in such a cute little house and had more seating than I expected thanks to some outdoor seating. Our server was just ok, not overly attentive but did just enough. Definitely recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes! My husband got the steak and eggs and it was a hearty portion. We also got a cinnamon roll which they heated up and it was really good. We easily found parking, but you should arrive earlier to account for this. I highly recommend making reservations!

    The New Years Eve menu was a prefix of moderate quality. I love the restaurant ambience and style. I would’ve preferred to try their full menu. It was very expensive for the offerings.

    Food was fabulous. We shared the brussel sprouts and had the steak. Steak was flavorful and tender. Had a great bottle of wine, half off on Sundays. We sat outside which was nice, except when it started getting cold. They ran out of propane tanks, so the heaters weren't working.
