Customer Reviews
I’m so glad I came in for brunch/lunch. This is a pretty spot with really good food and drink options. I ordered a Smoking Bishop. I watched the bartender smoking it at the bar. It looks like a tiny whiskey cask with a hose funnelling the smoke to the drink and a cover to keep in the smoke. Aside from seeing it (because it’s pretty cool tbh), I didn’t find it tasted smokey at all, not even a hint. It was tasty but I’ll opt for something else next time. I’ve been able to really get that smoked whiskey flavor elsewhere but I’m not sure what their process was. We also had an Italian soda - lychee flavor, it was a bit sweeter than expected but full of flavor. We enjoyed the lobster croissant, it had great flavor. I’d love to come back and try a few other things too.
Had the most amazing brunch here on Sunday! The Chorizo Benedict was absolutely perfect, and everything we ordered was outstanding. It's easy to see why reservations are recommended for brunch - the food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. The fall and Halloween decorations made the place feel so cozy and festive. We also tried the creme brulee, and it was hands down the best I've ever had! Can't wait to come back.
Atmosphere and people were awesome and attentive. Unfortunately should’ve listened to the reviews I heard about their tacos because I was Highly disappointed. $14 for 2 chicken tacos and the Tortilla they use is completely gross. Bad tasting and can’t hold anything in it. Chicken was seasoned nicely, but the presentation was terrible.
Very friendly servers, fair prices, good food, and nice environment! Recommend calling ahead for reservations, especially for weekend brunch hours, as space inside is small.
Got the brunch burger (best I ever had) and some fancy apple drinks from the fall menu. Both were amazing! But the service from the 2 bartenders on Sundays is always the best part. Trevor and Devin are top tier and always provide the greatest entertainment
