"Amazing Brunch! The friendliest staff ever. Everything was so good and tasty. The banana bread French toast is to die for. Everyone was very happy with their food choices. And they gave crayons and coloring book to our daughter."

"I absolutely love this place. The staff is so wonderful and friendly, it is a nonprofit place that supports local youth, and helping them to learn more and giving them the opportunity to learn. The food is absolutely amazing. We will definitely be coming back here ❤️"

"The major plus for me is they give back to the community. Good eats. Amazing service across the board and the atmosphere is upbeat. Sit at the bar. Their bartenders have the coolest personalities. Win."

"What a gem. Food was fantastic. The menu is interesting. Service was great. What can I say, I had the pastrami beef rib. Haven't seen that on any menu before. Glad I chose it because it was exceptional. My wife and the other couple with us were all equally pleased with their dishes. Oh, and I'll add, regarding the drinks, they really nailed it. All very good."

"Great experience getting dinner here! The staff are all so friendly and clearly passionate about the delicious food and the great cause this restaurant supports. We loved that they had pictures of the graduates from their culinary teaching program on the walls. The meal was perfectly paced so our food came out with enough time to have a short break between courses, and the staff was super quick at taking empty plates from the table to make sure we didn't feel cluttered. They have a good wine by the glass selection and a really strong cocktail list. Highly recommend making a stop by, and they let us know starting a couple weeks from now they'll have brunch becoming available on the weekends!"
