    A pretty cool place with old items from the courthouse weaved into the decor. Jorge our server was super cool. I had the chicken and waffles which was unique but just ok. My friends had more traditional brunch items and liked their dishes. I would go back for dinner and the ambience.

    The ambience and vibe was great. There was a bustling vibe when you first walk in with a bar. We tried the Cabin Fever seasonal cocktail which was great. Our table was in a more calm and quiet corner of the restaurant which was nice for our anniversary dinner so we could talk to each other. We had the steak and sea scallops, which were cooked to perfection. We also tried the strawberry cheesecake in a jar with the lemon crumble which had great flavor. The whole area was very festive with holiday decorations. Our waitress, Kristen, was very personable and a delight.

    This was my 4th time coming to Bouzy, but first time for normal brunch (previous visits were for HH, lunch and their “Bouzy Brunch” on Sundays) - ya’ll each item we ordered was bomb.com. We had the Brown Butter Lobster Benedict, Five Spice Carpaccio, and the Cured Egg & Caviar Toast. Everything was gone within minutes after the photo was taken and man did it take everything in us to not take a bite prior. For drinks, I had the Marc Bredif “Royal Oyster” and my friend enjoyed an espresso martini. Service was great, all hands on deck! Everyone was at our service and very pleasant to interact with. The vibes have been on point each and every time. Can’t wait to try dinner there soon!!
