    I hardly venture out of my area but today I went to see a show and wanted to eat at a place nearby. I found this restaurant on yelp. When I looked at the photos, I knew I wanted to check it out. It was like walking into an enchanted era. It was so beautiful inside and you can’t stop looking around. Although the menu doesn’t have a lot of food but my eggs Benedict was delicious and my friend chicken Caesar Salad was delicious. Parking was a bit hard but I went at 3:00 and found a space. Must go to this restaurant.

    The staff was absolutely amazing when we came on Christmas Day. Our party was running past 15 minutes and after arriving they were able to accommodate us after waiting patiently to be squeezed in. I can’t thank the manager and his staff enough for how amazing and their graciousness for allowing us to be able to experience their Christmas menu! Thank you again and happy holidays!
