   We have been here for dinner and had a great experience but we were very disappointed in our brunch today. Some of the food came out very late. We almost didn't have time to eat it because of a private party we needed to leave for (that we didn't know about at the time of our reservation). For my dish in particular- the eggs benedict were overcooked, the eggs didn't run at all and there was hardly any hollandaise on it. I know it wasn’t our server's fault, she was good. And, to be fair, they comped one of our drinks and we didn't complain further giving them a chance to fix it (partly because we didn't want to be those people but also because there wasn't enough time to receive anything else). I am still optimistic on this restaurant and hoping today was just a bad day. However, I don't recommend the eggs benedict.

   Really fun and interesting tapas place. Food was delicious, cocktails were less great and considering it advertises itself as a cocktail lounge that was a surprise. I love that it used to be a lamp store and they have not changed the façade or the name. A bit noisy, but a lively and fun atmosphere. Will come back. But probably order wine next time not cocktails.

   A different experience for typical fine dining. Delicious small plates and unusual cocktails and an interesting beverage collection. Think of this more as the art of food and drink. Go to website and check it out. We will return.

   I have driven by many times and never knew it was a restaurant. So glad we were able to find this place in social media . We went for brunch and absolutely loved it. Will go back for dinner and drinks. Great atmosphere and service and very tastefully decorated.

   Our experience began with a desire to enjoy a satisfying meal before our flight, as we had a 5-hour layover in Orlando. Instead of opting for an Uber, we rented a car and headed to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the trendy vibe of the place. The décor was stunning, and I could only imagine how vibrant it would look on warmer days with its unique lighting and colorful walls. For our meal, we started with the Oyster Rockefeller, which was a perfect beginning. We then indulged in a tomahawk steak paired with grits topped with crab meat, and finished with the plantain pancakes. Every dish was beautifully presented and seasoned to perfection. The cocktails we chose from the brunch menu were equally impressive—well-crafted and perfectly matched to our selections. In our three hours of dining, we enjoyed not only the delicious food and drinks but also the excellent service. It was a truly pleasant experience, and we left feeling delighted to have discovered such a gem during our layover.

   Very loud as soon as you walk in. Can’t have a conversation unless you’re raising your voice. 3rd time here. First two decent last one this weekend waited 30 mins for service and then got our food before our drinks. Then my husbands drink was wrong. Not expressed with the place. Should be more jazz music with ambience and food they serve instead is club music very loud.

    Food was excellent, drinks were also excellent and serving staff was knowledgeable and engaging. Music was a touch loud but didn’t affect our experience negatively. We’ll be dining here again soon.
