I was seated and served quickly and my food came out fast. Shrimp Cocktail presented well and nice large shrimp. Asparagus should have been trimmed better as the lower portion was not feasible. Main pasta dish was good.

Lovely restaurant, with warm wood tones and extensive display of liquors at bar (namely whiskey). Establishment requires one to place a credit card hold to make reservation. Utilized a pulse voucher for brunch. Due to transit issues, was running late for reservation and inquired if I could change the time. Was told no and that any delay would be deducted from the 90 minute unlimited aspect of brunch. Informed my guest and told them to start at the reservation time. When arrived, found restaurant empty except for 2other parties. Unsure why would not move reservation 15 minutes. Advertised there would be live jazz during brunch but there was not any live music entertainment. When I asked the server, and showed her the establishment's statement of live music, she informed me that sometimes there is false information listed and there has never been live jazz for brunch. Despite these initial negative aspects, the food was very good and as expected with attentive service. Enjoyable but would not prioritize returning for brunch.
