It was our first visit and it won’t be our last! Our server, Holly, was kind and helpful. The staff worked really well in simply clearing dishes, filling water and securing a to go box. Our brunch was delicious! Love the decor, CLE views and make sure you go the restroom to see amazing photos of a beautiful young man.
