Excellent service and communication. Hostess, Wait help and busser were friendly, personable and looked as though they genuinely enjoyed their job. Sadly, this is rare in today’s society.

We stopped by Smith & Kings on Halloween to try the new brunch menu and had a great time. The service was great, and the waffles were soft and topped with blueberries and powdered sugar. My favorite part was getting to play board games at the table. A little Scrabble made brunch feel like a fun Halloween hangout.
