    Sawyer & Co is such a fun brunch spot, so when i was saw they were offering a prix-fixe menu, i thought it would be a great Valentines dinner. They didn’t disappoint! The food was amazing and they even had the outdoor space heaters going due to the sudden temp change, which was much appreciated!

    The staff was incredible! It was pretty empty while my party of 11 was there, but it was a great experience. Very attentive with drinks, got our food in a timely manner, and staff even helped us take group photos. 10/10 brunch spot!
