“ I had the savory chicken crepe! Three large crepes are large enough to share. The Blood Mary’s were scrumptious The beet salad was way underwhelming. First, less salad would be good and add more beets. The dressing was ok but could be more flavorful. The atmosphere is crazy - packed and loud. And the location is spot on perfect for locals or visitors ”

Jade was wonderful. She was patient and deeply kind. She also did a great job with the order. I am more than pleased. ”
“ Haven't been in since the re did the place and it looks amazing! Very modern and up to date. Love how they opened it up! The food was creative and flavorful. The bacon jam omelet was okay but the cinnamon pancakes were amazing and I highly recommend the Irishmen Benny, it was incredible! The drinks were also creative and poured generously.

“ Had brunch here on a random Monday morning at 11:30 am and they were very busy. I can assume reservations would be needed on weekends. Their food was very good, with the pancakes being my favorite. Their corned beef hash was also very tasty and the portion was very fair for the price. Service was quick and courteous, even with so many guests. The team worked together very well to assure guest satisfaction. Overall, I would recommend and I enjoyed my brunch. ”
