    The brunch was fabulous!! The Yorkie Bennie was delicious and a good sized portion! It came quick after ordering! It was fresh tasting and temperature of food was perfect! The service was top notch and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were meeting to catch up and chat over brunch and we probably overstayed our welcome, however, not once did we ever feel rushed and made sure to thank the staff for letting us hang out to finish our visit! Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and would highly recommend it for any meal! Thanks to everyone at Liberty Commons for a lovely afternoon! 🎉👍

    Loved the place!! Everything was perfect, the food, service, ambiance. The chicken adobo though, seems a bit salty, or maybe we were just looking for the traditional adobo we know, like with vinegar etc. But aside from that, we had an awesome experience.
