Fabian our server was awesome! Attentive and gave several recommendations. The view is always great here. First time I come for brunch and it was delicious. Had the steak and eggs and my nephew had eggs and bacon, simple but delicious. I highly recommend coming here at any time of the day. Thanks Fabian. Ooo and thanks for everything Javier ! P.S. dog friendly too
