    Service was pretty good. Food only mediocre. Pork chop Ok but not as tender as one would think , asparagus and polenta barely warm At best. There was loud rap music outside at the pool and the doors were open and music playing in restaurant too. Rather loud and over stimulating. But will say that the sourdough bread and calamari appetizer were delicious !

    Very nice brunch and my wife and I enjoyed it very much. There was a live DJ, which in my opinion too loud. Holding a conversation was hard because of the noise level. I will come back again but not if there is a DJ.

    Very cute place. Loved that they had a DJ but still low enough to hear each other . Our server seemed a bit busy but she was still friendly. The food was excellent but not a ton of selections. Perfect place for breakfast with friends.
