    A great spot for a delicious brunch. Our food was delicious and the service was excellent. There were 6 of us in our group and everyone ordered something different. Everything was outstanding and very fresh. We had the omelet, BLT, biscuits and gravy, salmon with avocado toast, chicken and biscuit, and the breakfast poutine. Everyone was very happy with their order. And I definitely recommend the mimosa bucket. A hidden gem in a nice neighborhood.
