    The patio was so well done sitting outside with the fireplace and heat laps made the chill of the morning minimal. Gave a great feel for morning brunch with a personal setting.

    The ambience in the restaurant was amazing. The service we received from start to finish was great. Our server was Christopher and manager was Brazil and they went above and beyond to ensure that my mom and I had a wonderful experience. They suggested entrée and drink items that did not miss. My mom had the salmon with curry and rice. She really enjoyed it. I had the crab fried rice, which was extremely flavorful. The drinks were great. I will definitely be visiting again soon with family and friends. The location was good. We’re able to park and get in and out quickly
