While I have not yet sampled the food, the drinks were not only delicious but also creatively presented. My top choice is the smoked cherry cola, served in a large glass dome. You must give it a try. I look forward to going back soon to also experience the food.

Although I only had a plain salad, the oysters were amazing! It's a great hangout spot where you can enjoy some delicious nibbles. The wall of roses was a nice touch and added to the beauty of the place. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, the atmosphere and music were fantastic.

Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Prices are reasonable and the quality is fantastic. Staff is very friendly. read more Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Prices are reasonable and the quality is fantastic. Staff is very friendly.

However, we were disappointed by the long waiting time and lack of communication from our server. When we ordered an ice cream coffee, he informed us multiple times that they did not have vanilla flavor or milk alternatives, and then brought the wrong coffee flavor. It took another 15 minutes for him to take our food orders, even though it was not very busy. He finally brought our meals almost a half hour later, without apologizing for the delay. The food was decent, but the wait was not worth it. When we mentioned the delay to our server at the end of our meal, he realized he had made a mistake with our orders due to a substitution I had requested. He apologized, but it was only after we pointed it out and he had failed to communicate during the wait. Overall, we were very disappointed with the service, especially since I had made a reservation for my friend's birthday and it negatively impacted our special brunch.

Great server, great food and great drinks! Shout to Sheldon for such an amazing task to do to us! read more Great server, great food and great drinks! Shout to Sheldon for such an amazing task to do to us!
