Neighborhood gem. We stopped by for brunch. Egg Benedict was excellent. Eggs perfectly poached served with breakfast potatoes. Husband had the French toast topped with fresh fruit & served with breakfast sausage. We also ordered Beignets served with a strawberry butter. Very good.

Just WOW. We stopped by for dinner with our two boys after mini golf next door and had a wonderful dining experience, despite having kids with us. The food is absolutely incredible, a bit pricey but well worth it. Our kids loved the sourdough pancake and shrimp fried rice (as did we). The beef and broccoli noodle dish had the best flavor, just wish they included a bit more beef. Staff were all very accommodating to little kids and knowledgeable about the menu. They also have a great sommelier, which always takes a dining experience up a notch. Outstanding food and service. We will be back! (Perhaps next time for a date night!)

We went for a family dinner on Christmas—the staff was so friendly and welcoming, which was so wonderful when they could have been home with their families instead. The food was delicious and the cocktails were great, but the staff truly made our dinner so special. We will definitely be back!
