    We were there for Brunch before theater show. Members of our party ordered different items and all said it was delicious. Our server Chloe was friendly and efficient, and she got us in and out with plenty of time to get to the show a few blocks away. It was a unique experience for out of town guests.

    Our server, Cameron, was an absolute delight! Personable, charismatic, and warm.  there was a short time we had another server while Cameron had to step away and his replacement was equally fun!
