This was a nice mid-upscale spot when they initially opened. Now just a hookah lounge/club type atmosphere. Service was lacking. Took over 20 minutes for our drinks to come. Food was ok. I will not be returning.

I enjoyed every bite of my food! Appetizer: Shrimp deviled eggs for starters! I ordered off the brunch menu: Lamb Chops (BEST I'VE EVER HAD) Scrambled eggs, and Diced potatoes. My friend had Lobster Pasta, and we drank Lucid Dream cocktails! GOOOOOOOOOO!!! Ask for Donald (Server-Excellent) and Jean(Manager-Excellent! Courtenay O'Reilly-
