   The restaurant is small and extremely loud. The wait service was very attentive. Very limited vegetarian options. At 6:00 on a Sat night, they were out of veggie burgers. I ordered a salad. One of the ingredients was roasted cauliflower. It was served raw. I brought it to the attention of the waiter who brought it back to the kitchen. It was brought back to me still raw but with a char mark on it. The “chef” insisted it was roasted. I run a catering business and I know that roasted cauliflower can be cut with a butter knife. This was essentially raw. While I appreciate that the establishment comped my salad, I would have preferred that they just provided the meal described in the menu and served a salad with “roasted” cauliflower.

   The giant mozz stick was cool and the Brussels sprouts app was yummy. Brussels sprouts were overpriced, though. The rest of the food was fine, average. Probably won’t return considering the better food establishments in the area. The one thing I would go back for are cocktails and wine which were good. The credit card fee is a real turn-off and my friends and I have stopped going to restaurants that impose this. Food costs are higher this food at restaurants costs more. What is the purpose of a credit card fee in a post-COVID world but to be extra greedy?

   It was our first time here; we were looking for a new Brunch place, and how happy are we to have stumbled upon this treasure!! The Brunch menu was not very large but offered some unique and interesting options. We ordered French toast & pancakes that were delicious!! I had the Greek salad with chicken….and it was extremely tasty!!! Waitress was very attentive and refilled coffee without even asking. We will be back..and will spread the word!!!

   Long time customer (supported during the pandemic). Will pause visiting until things get addressed; there was a mouse in the dining room and the bathroom was in disrepair. We Love the food and service and hope these issues get resolved soon.

   Our waitress was amazing but the overall experience was awful. They ran out of gluten free everything and tried to give us the steak sandwich on regular bread hoping that we wouldn’t notice. I am HIGHLY allergic and if I had eaten the bread I would’ve spent a minimum of 48 hours in the hospital. I then ordered the green beans only to find out you didn’t have that either. It was such a joke. Oh on top of it all, my meal wasn’t comped. Actually the most horrendous experience.
