    They are trying very hard, but it took way too long to receive our food and 1 of our orders was incorrect. This was during a Sunday brunch and it was not busy. They did not charge us for the meal that was incorrect- which was above and beyond. Music was a bit loud for my liking- but others may disagree. All and all- they need to work out a few kinks-but we could tell they were really still a little green but seemed to really care. Food value was good.

    Lovely ambience. They allowed my husband to come in ahead of time to leave my anniversary gift and flowers at our table. Food and vibes were great.
