Marjorie DApril 10, 2016Crab cake Benedict was delicious. Perfect portion size and the potatoes that come with it are really good too.- Use to have one in Boca, when that closed went to this one on Las Olas. Gone there for brunch but mainly for dinner.

H W.February 11, 2012The waitstaff and bartenders are always friendly. Ask about the specials for dinner and about the martinis. The pineapple martinis are really good but deadly- J. Matthew CahillDecember 10, 2016Great brunch, bottomless drinks, and our waiter did an amazing magic trick for us! Michael is a boss.
Marc SJuly 3, 2017The sea scallops with risotto. Scallops were good; risotto slightly undercooked; the tomatoes are wrong for this dish. Should be left out.
Antoinette CaraanSeptember 9, 2012Try creme brûlée stuffed fresh toast. The caramelized sugar on top makes it even more amazing. Unlimited mimosas for $12.

New Times Broward Palm BeachMay 10, 2011Beer snobs all over South Florida will slobber over the pints of Warsteiner, Guinness Stout, and J.W. Dundee's Original Honey Brown Lager.
Great place; however, wish they would add at least one IPA to their draft beer selection.
