    Came here for brunch Saturday morning at 11 with my sister. We sat outside and the ambiance was great! We both got mocktails which were delicious and Benedicts which were very good as well! We shared the strawberry shortcake dessert which awesome! Our server Bella was attentive and everyone who came to our table was helpful and friendly.

    Brought my husband for the first time. I’d been for brunch before but never the happy hour and we both loved it! My husband can’t stop thinking about the seared octopus and I love the mini martinis. I’ve already made another happy hour res to go with a friend this week.
