The limited menu looked good and stressed brunch beverages over food. Service was friendly and engaged, bit of a wait for the food but it was worth it, the Bacon Egg Cheese was to die for.

No one in your party gets their food at even remotely close to the same time, and there is no explanation as to when the missing meals might arrive. The food, when it arrives after at least a half hour wait, is at best ho hum, some dishes not at all appealing. To top it off, they have extremely poor ventilation and thus have to keep the door propped open or it becomes too smoky. You either freeze or are eaten alive by mosquitos (maybe both! , yet you and your clothes will still reek of food when you finally get home.
