Food was excellent. Service was good. We did appreciate that they took a reservation for the brunch. Parking in the area is a hassle.

We got the chefs board and the brisket burger. The chefs board had a great variety of items and everything was fantastic. I especially loved the whipped garlic. The brisket burger was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend both.

Great server, burgers were delicious (although a bit expensive) and cooked to order. Go for the upcharge and get the Parmesan garlic fries. Skip the strange house cocktails and order a classic cocktail or a beer.
