    If you don't get the Lobster Benedict for brunch, you're making a mistake. For real.

    Pretty good happy hour prices - from 5 to 7pm, but not on Sundays!

    The braised short rib sandwich is completely insane. It's really sad when it's over.

    Super trendy - could be fun for drinks. But dinner just isn't worth the $$$ when you have so many better options in this neighborhood for less. Biggest rip off - the (raw) brussel salad.
