I made a reservation, and there were plenty of seats available for a late Sunday lunch, although no specific table was set aside for us. I was a bit confused about the menu for that time of day, as their online presence and Facebook page don't clearly indicate which food options are available at different times. It wasn't the brunch menu. Since I don’t usually eat meat, I found the lunch menu—if that's what it was—to be quite limited. The choices were either a salad or spicy shrimp, and unfortunately, they were out of meatless patty options, which was disappointing. The food was tasty, and I felt it was reasonably priced. However, our waitress seemed completely disinterested and lacking in enthusiasm. Given the small menu and limited options, I don't think I'll be coming back.

And the desserts are truly next level but the lack of customer service was not up to par at all. We would go back again but only for drinks and dessert. But never again for a special occasion.

Can’t wait to return. We visited for lunch on Christmas Day. They had their full brunch menu with a large variety of egg, sandwich, and salad options. I had one of the smoke salmon eggs benedict and my wife had the turkey club. Both arrived hot and nicely presented and were delicious. They were unfortunately out of cranberry bitters, so I couldn’t try the Griswold cocktail and settled for their Midnight Manhattan, which was solid, though the amaro was not particularly noticeable in the flavor. Dessert was a no-brainer with a menu of crème brûlée options to choose from. We went traditional vanilla and were not disappointed. Right up there with the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. The hostess and our server were very pleasant and ensured we were well taken care of. A really great experience in all respects.Vegetarian options: Plenty of options for vegetarians and pescatarians. I’m veggie/pesc so I didn’t probe too deeply on vegan options, but it seemed workable.Parking: No dedicated parking lot, but plenty of parking options within a 2-3 minute walk. On-street parking is free (2hr max), though you might have to park a few blocks away on a busy day. There are garages (I’ve never used) and paid lots nearby.

It kind of reminded me of being at the Denver airport and choosing a full service place like Elway's so you could avoid the food court. Better than the Panda Express, but not where you would go if you weren't on a long layover.
