We went for jazz brunch before the theater and it was lively and festive. We all ended up getting the Eggs Benedict and a variety of coffee. The waitress was great and accommodated any manner of hot/iced, regular/decaf, with different creamers. She was wonderful. The food came out quick and hot and they also accommodated our desire to get next door to the theater efficiently. The bartenders, too, were lovely while we waited for our table. All in all a quick but fulfilling experience.

great food, service, and drinks. Only complaint was that a party at a nearby table was taking multiple photos with point and shoot camera with flash, and with the dark lighting, it hurt the vibe

Food was delicious and service was wonderful. Restaurant is a bit loud so a little hard to hear if you have a large table but it made for a lively ambience. The space is also beautiful. Highly recommend.
