What a delightful brunch! The food is delicious - lots of vegetarian options (and some vegan!) and everything was perfect. The espresso martini wowed my very discerning friend. We’ll be back very soon.

Celebrated our anniversary here. Sweet "happy anniversary" note on the table and complementary dessert from the restaurant. Enjoyed the Hawaiian sushi roll and smash burger (special that night). Started with the chips and Guangdong guacamole... yum! Steve Ethan was a doll, as was sever Abby. Noise level was easy to have a conversation (we asked for a quiet table kind of out of the way of everything). Would most certainly return! So many delicious menu options we want to try. Thanks for a great evening!
