Brand new so I expected some kinks to be worked out. Saturday brunch was empty. My favorite is an espresso martini & corn beef hash. The corn beef hash was way under cooked but they kindly remade it quickly. Beautiful location, nice staff, same wonderful menu. Looking forward to returning.

Had the Korean barbecue pork and fried rice and it was delicious. Nice complex flavor. The Reuben sandwich was also good and the coleslaw tasted very fresh.

I picked this for an 8-9 person business lunch thinking the food would be good (it was) and it would be quiet (it was not). Music is fine - loud music with videos isn’t inappropriate, but I would think that the majority of customers here would prefer a more quiet setting and more business friendly for meetings.

Overall food was ok, we went on a football game day and the service and food speed where a bit disappointing. Our server didn't seem like she was really on top of it at all.

The staff is really friendly and everyone is so kind and helpful. The only mention is that there is a need for a bar tender. Our waitress was doing both and was not able to tend to us and her tables properly.

We have gone there few times now and this was the worst time. Food wasn’t up to par as previous times. The service was the worst too. And we talked highly of this place to friends and family. Not happy.
