The seat yourself on a couch is nice. I'm an OG V street back in the day patron so I'm picky. I like the servers alert but not irritating and asking mid chew how my food is every 5 but also seeing i might need some more water or suggesting where to plug in.

This is a really nice place to enjoy food and entertainment with friends. The food and service is excellent. However eating outside on a hot day or with birds taking constitutionals from above on the tree branches hanging over the dining area, could be quite challenging should you decide to eat out doors. I can't understand why there are no umbrellas or awning for diners who choose to eat on the patio. We decided to eat indoors.

I was very glad my sister took my wife and I out here for Brunch. The selection was great and everything I tried from my plate to my wife’s and sisters plate was delicious. I will definitely return when I am in town.

Delicious food and a HUGE variety of vegan options. The nachos in the photo were vegan. I speak of them in the past tense because they are gone, every last delicious bite.
