    Amazing food and fast service. The only negative was that it was so loud that it was difficult to have a conversation or hear the server when they were explaining our dishes. Still would definitely come back.

    Always delicious! Really love this place and the style. Service is great. Food was so good. This is a favorite of mine. The eggs benedict were divine. The sliced ham is real ham. The Monte Cristo was perfection and the fruit salad was so fresh. All of the fruit tasted like it should. Sometimes restaurant fruit is so bland. The raspberries tasted like they were freshly picked. Thank you!
