We did Sunday Brunch before a Panther’s game. Very nice selection of drinks, mocktails, and brunch items. I got the Lomo Saltido (SP?). Added the egg for $2 more. So much flavor and a slow heat build up as I ate. My wife got the avocado toast. The poached egg great and the balsamic drizzle on toast was a fantastic addition. My daughter got the pancakes. Wow. So fluffy and the black berries and blue berries were so good.

We visited on a Tuesday, Despite the moderately small number of patrons the service seemed a little slow. The wait staff was pleasant enough but not especially efficient. Making multiple trips to refill water or take one drink order at a time. We had to suggest we were ready to order. Drinks took a while to be delivered though I could see them sitting on the bar. Once we placed our food order it was prepared quickly and the taste was amazing. The Pecan glazed salmon with broccolini was some of the best.
