We waited about an hour for a table, but it was pleasant to wander the strip, do some shopping, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Once we were seated, everything got even better. Anika was truly amazing—she was genuine, knowledgeable, and patient. Thank you for being the highlight of our visit! My friend and I shared a mimosa setup, a veggie frittata, sausage with biscuits and gravy, and a side of avocado toast. The food was delicious, the ambiance was cheerful and charmingly vintage, and I can't wait to come back!

My friend, who has very particular tastes, requested a custom drink called an Aviator, and they made it just the way he wanted. I highly recommend the Bramble, especially with lemonade! I had the string chicken while my boyfriend enjoyed the pecan bourbon chicken; you really can't go wrong with either dish.

I found the menu to have very few vegan options, and the waitress didn't seem pleased when I inquired about them. read more I found the menu to have very few vegan options, and the waitress didn't seem pleased when I inquired about them.

Wonderfully decorated and featuring good, healthy comfort food, it is a popular downtown spot. We ordered the salmon and pasta carbonara. The exquisite salmon with balsamic glaze was served with pilaf, sautéed vegetables, and eggplant chips. The chips were sweet and my personal favorite. The pasta carbonara was also very good. A 16-oz beer was just $7 which was also very sweet. We ended with the gluten-free Tart and Snickerdoodle bread pudding. Absolutely delicious. I need to mention that the service was very good. Our server was a delight and very attentive. Highly recommend!
