We went out for brunch and sat at a table for two. We ordered drinks - a mimosa flight, and I got the coquito flight. It was so good!!! We had the deviled eggs with bacon to share, and my friend got the red velvet waffle while I had the Cannoli French Toast. The food was delicious. They started with Christmas music, and then it changed to R&B. It was a great vibe. We were able to have a great conversation, and we weren't rushed at all. I'll be back cause I loved it.
