Unfortunately my opinion has changed after our Mother’s Day brunch experience. We arrived on time for our 1:45 outdoor reservation and were told it would be just a few minutes to clear the table and get us seated. After standing around for 10 minutes we checked again and were told the previous party had paid but were still occupying the table and there was nothing they could do to make them leave. We waited 10 more minutes and became nervous that we wouldn’t make our wine tasting appointment after brunch and conceded to noisy indoor seating near the bathroom with two uneven tables pushed together. I noted that the party occupying our table finally walked out at 2:15 - 30 minutes after we should’ve been seated! I know the restaurant can’t force patrons to leave, but they should also build in some buffer time between reservations.\n\nNow, for the service… our waitress was inattentive and extremely slow. We waited forever to order, and had already finished our drinks by the time the food came out (of which, only 3/5 of us got our food while the other 2 continued to wait). We had to flag other staff down to ask for our waitress to come back because she disappeared. I have a stomach condition and often place half orders so I don’t waste food. They wouldn’t allow me to do this and offered one “eggs and bacon” option from the kids menu, which I easily could’ve made myself.\n\nAfter waiting for our table, then our drinks, then food - I had worked up a full bladder. I kept trying for the bathroom, but with only a single toilet it was constantly occupied. When it finally opened up, I made my way over, only to be cut in front of my the floor manager… and to make matters worse, he left the toilet seat up!\n\nAll and all this was a terrible experience and I was so embarrassed to have taken my mom here on Mother’s Day.

I don’t usually eat vegetarian or vegan dishes, but I had the impossible meat fettuccine and it was delicious! We sat outside and it was a little bit windy, but manageable. Would definitely visit again!

Didn’t live up to the social media hype. Atmosphere was OK. Food was OK. Service was nice and knowledgeable, but slow and there were only four tables of guest, so not busy at all.

I have dined here many times and used to really like this restaurant. Unfortunately my opinion has changed after our Mother’s Day brunch experience. We arrived on time for our 1:45 outdoor reservation and were told it would be just a few minutes to clear the table and get us seated. After standing around for 10 minutes we checked again and were told the previous party had paid but were still occupying the table and there was nothing they could do to make them leave. We waited 10 more minutes and became nervous that we wouldn’t make our wine tasting appointment after brunch and conceded to noisy indoor seating near the bathroom with two uneven tables pushed together. I noted that the party occupying our table finally walked out at 2:15 - 30 minutes after we should’ve been seated! I know the restaurant can’t force patrons to leave, but they should also build in some buffer time between reservations.
Now, for the service… our waitress was inattentive and extremely slow. We waited forever to order, and had already finished our drinks by the time the food came out (of which, only 3/5 of us got our food while the other 2 continued to wait). We had to flag other staff down to ask for our waitress to come back because she disappeared. I have a stomach condition and often place half orders so I don’t waste food. They wouldn’t allow me to do this and offered one “eggs and bacon” option from the kids menu, which I easily could’ve made myself.
After waiting for our table, then our drinks, then food - I had worked up a full bladder. I kept trying for the bathroom, but with only a single toilet it was constantly occupied. When it finally opened up, I made my way over, only to be cut in front of my the floor manager… and to make matters worse, he left the toilet seat up!
All and all this was a terrible experience and I was so embarrassed to have taken my mom here on Mother’s Day. Being busy and overbooking tables is no excuse, and we heard plenty of those from the staff.
