Mother’s Day brunch was spectacular with creative menu options and the always excellent bar! The food was delicious and our server, Ali, was professional and personable. She is so knowledgeable about craft beer and also recommended the locally roasted coffee. We love 1922 on the Square for wonderful dinners and vow to not miss the next special brunch!
