"our server, jesus, was very welcoming and patient with us as we took a decent amount of time to figure out what we wanted to eat and drink. he was very kind when we asked to switch our drinks for another and was very quick with our order. he left us satisfied and with a smile. thank you :)"

"Nice place conveniently close to the hotel/conference I'm attending. Atmosphere is very welcoming, calm and classy but still casual. The bar area has TVs, a sitting area with a very fire place to enjoy some chats and eats/drinks. The atrium area gives you an outdoor feel while being indoors. They had a good selection of spirits and beer on tap as well as a fun looking cocktail list. I enjoyed the salmon plate, good all around taste, very satisfying. They otherwise had a wide variety of appetizers, salads, meat plates, pizzas and desserts."

"Enjoyed a nice brunch on Sunday here. Service was very friendly and prompt. Food was better than average but unfortunately my Bloody Mary was sub par at best (kind of a big deal at Sunday Brunch). The bar/lounge area with a large gas fireplace seems like a perfect spot for pre or after dinner cocktails, very inviting and cozy. Not a bad choice for Sunday brunch, just avoid the Bloody Mary.."

"First off, the staff, our sever in the lounge area, was fantastic. But these drinks, Lemon Drop Martini and a Jack Mule, totaling $32, at 4:30pm at happy hour...was so disappointing. Flat, not a twist of lemon, a twist of lime, just something that I could have gotten at an in-laws or co-workers party. Be better Jack...be better."
