It did get really crowded towards the late afternoon, so that was time for us to go, lol. I will definitely attend another even held here. FYI there is no parking for this venue, you'll have to park around the corner in a parking garage or find street parking.

Although many other reviews posted about poor service on mother's day, I felt the restaurant would be better prepared after a bad experience one special day. Planned a brunch for father's day. What a big mistake.Our host was nice and a saving grace. She was handling multiple tables alone.No water was provided for a while. I had to ask for it. Appetizer never came until after we finished the main course and asked again about it. In total I asked different people thrice for the appetizers. The third time after asking our original host, she brought it out.The buffalo wings had too much salt. I guess they added extra salt by mistake forgetting buffalo sauce is already salty.Why is the order of the appetizer messed up so frequently here?A wait for over 40 minutes. Then came the main course. I do recommend the chicken and waffles. But stay away from the Benedict. The salmon isn't fresh at all. Tasted old. We couldn't tell if the hollandaise sauce is made fresh or store bought. It tasted extremely bland like store bought queso. The muffins were overcooked and too tough.Would have loved to go again for the chicken waffles but the whole experience tells us to do otherwise.

It's definitely a restaurant you should check out, especially during the holiday season. Just a tip: use the parking lot on the side of the building, as finding parking can be a bit tricky. Cheers!
