"This place was great. We went for Mother's Day and had a crew of 13, ages 8-76. The food was outstanding. Brunch is hard for a big group and I hate to admit we have some real pains in the rear. 2 vegetarians and others who are very picky. They all loved their meals. Even my over easy eggs were, in fact, over easy and nice and hot. The waiter was good. It did smell a little like last nights beer but that smell went away after the place filled up.
Enjoy, it was a solid spot and...yes, all the moms were happy.

"Visited for brunch with the family. Diverse- lots of young people and families. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Probably would go back since everyone seemed to enjoy. Plus, there are 5 of us and our seating placement was spacious & comfortable. We've noticed that to be somewhat rare when dining in the city."

"The brunch deal is amazing! $16 for an entree (with a great menu to choose from) and 2 drinks, choice of bloody mary (which tastes great here), mimosa, or various coffee/tea/soft drinks. Totally amazing and the ambiance is lovely too.
I've only been here for brunch but I glanced at the regular menu and the bar drinks/food selection and that looks good too. Can't wait to try it out at night one day, and will definitely come back for brunch."
