    Try and sit at the kitchen counter in back - it's much more entertaining and you will appreciate the craft more!

    Sit facing the open kitchen if you can and have a Bloody Mary at brunch. Spicy and not too thick.

    Day or night, order an orange juice. It's cool, creamy, and frothy. A spa treatment for your alcohol-beleaguered gullet.

    Better for dinner than brunch. Avoid the pancake (doughy, thick, and not made with love).

    Delicious brunch. But we were stuck at the end of the room and the staff could not really see us. The coffee could be better.

    Get the side of bacon. It's definitely worth it. And BEST eggs Benedict, ever.
