I enjoyed the atmosphere and loved the Cubano sandwich . My server could’ve been more attentive to our needs. I dined with my two daughters and they were not happy with the food they ordered. My daughters salad did not taste good at all. My other daughter stated she had about 5 cubed potatoes in her hash. They ordered pineapple juice, and the server brought apple juice. He definitely could work on how to take care of his customers. I say that because I was a server myself at a point in my life. I served for 10 years.

Fantastic brunch and great service. We had a group of 25 on Sunday 5/6, we ran our server half to death and he remained calm, collected, and professional. Highly recommend.
