★★★★★ 5.0 Joanna Armendariz · Sep 2025

We loved this place the first time we came here for dinner. The food was really good, I highly recommend the shrimp risotto and the Brussel sprouts! I was a huge fan of the Aviation drink and recommend that for anyone who loves a tart and not overly sweet drink. We loved our waiter Trevor who encouraged us to return another day for breakfast, which we did and the menu did not disappoint. The eggs Benedict is yummy, so was the breakfast sandwich.

We came for brunch at 11:30 on a Tuesday. There was no wait. The food was served quickly and hot and prepared to perfection. I ordered the lobster eggs Benedict. The hollindsise sauce was perfectly seasoned and just the right mix of sweet and savory. The eggs were poached absolutely perfectly which I've come to discover is a trick! The meal was served with fried potatoes, which were clearly sysco potatoes; they were tasty nonetheless.

The food was delicious! I went to breakfast/brunch in the morning with 4 of my friends. The only negative comment on the food was the hash browns had a nacho cheese short of taste which wasn't our favorite but the breakfast potatoes were a delight. The service was meh but it is very busy in the morning so be gracious during that time. The ambiance was very pleasant and calm I enjoyed it very much. There isn't a ton of seating so I would recommend making a reservation if possible.

Amazing place!! We went to have brunch there and the wait wasn’t too long. The booth we had was comfortable and the food was fresh and delicious!! The server was nice and checked on us during our meal. Would go again. 👍

The food and drinks we had last night were some of the best we’ve had at any restaurant in years. I ordered the Lavender Wink, and it was honestly one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. My husband and I split the ahi tuna stack to start, and it was absolutely incredible. For dinner, I had the halibut and my husband had the short rib, both were outstanding. You can really tell they recently updated their menu because everything has improved so much. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. It’s SO good and we can’t wait to come back!
