    One of my favorite places. The food and drinks are great. The decor is awesome, and the staff are lovely. The only reason I took away a star is because it is small. There are certain seats that are not comfortable to sit if you are a bit hearty. Other than that it's still an awesome place. They are also open to accommodating you if you are uncomfortable.

    Check them out !

    The food was good if not a bit on the bland side. For a place that charges $19 for avocado toast, it wasn't as mind blowing as everyone says it is. My friends and I came on a fairly hot and crowded day and asked to be seated inside, surprised to find there was no AC. It was so hot and stuffy you were literally breathing in used air.

    We ordered food and i personally didn't care for the chicken and waffles or the avocado toast but the Mac and cheese was excellent so i definitely recommend that. I ordered a sprite which was flat and my friend got drinks which ended up being so much more expensive then any other place we've been to and a lot weaker than what we were expecting (considering it was a mimosa that's saying something).

    Maybe because it was disgustingly hot that i couldn't breath or the fact that the food was a bit sub par, or maybe it was the flies floating around the restaurant but i definitely do not recommend this place. I give them one star for having great Mac and cheese but that's all i can spare.

    Save your money go elsewhere.

    Service was okay not good. Coffee was horrible and  food was all cold. Super disappointed.

    I got a $17 Avocado toast that was a joke. It came with toast from a bag that they serve as a side to other meals. It barley had avocado on top. It seems like they ran out.  They could have told me, I would have ordered something else.

    First off we are the first and only customers in the early morning to this restaurant so I am like ok this will be a great first time experience when this place is literally empty.

    Service- Horrible no energy no drive kinda as if he didn't want to work or serve us either way. Didn't ask how was food or any follow ups on our meal remember we are the only ones in the restaurant.

    Food- was ok ordered Chicken and Waffles with home fries. Home fries were warm to cool but how remember we are the only ones maybe with one other group so I expect the home fries to be smoking ( not even close)

    Overall for my first experience I wasn't impressed at all I came here because of the reviews but was disappointed even when there was less than 3 parties in the restaurant at the time.  This was a 58 dollar meal and food should have been better, didn't meet the hype.

    Standard American brunch place. By looking at the menu, one brunch entree is usually over $23. It comes with free coffee/tea/juice and is serves in a relatively large portion. The taste was fine but didn't stand out in any way. In addition, the tables were arranged very close to each other; hard to not overhear the next table and hard for waitresses to come over to our table.
