Long wait, but it's WORTH IT! Wait is usually 1 hour to 1.5. Host offered free coffee cuz our wait was long.
Service has been super slow as of late. Twice now the server has delayed putting in our order. Food is still good - just plan to stay for a while.
The mushroom pasta salad is a delight! Order it as a side or as a main meal, you'll love it.
AlisonApril 11, 2011Love the outdoor seating for nice days. Food is yummy, but check your bill... We got overcharged.
Carie BadgettMay 1, 2010Great brunch. They use a lot of local produce, so it's really fresh. Kid-friendly, too.
Broken heart is right, used to love it here, moved away for a couple years, not so much this time
Jeff SolomonJuly 16, 2017Slow service... don't go if you're in a hurry. But if you have the time, the eggs & chorizo are good
- They know me here... i hope it's bc I get the mushroom pasta salad so often not the mimosas ;)
Kati SmithSeptember 6, 2013The service is really slow. We were completely ignored. My bottomless coffee had only 1 refill. The food was very good, but not worth the wait.
The brunch Bruschetta is AWE-SOME! Grab a cupcake to go too :)
Pastrami sang fatty and very little meat. Choose the grilled turkey instead
No reservations, but they take names/numbers at the door.
