Looks great, not fond of Service

Had a large dinner planned, they didn't pay attention to details. I personally sat at bar for dinner, had to ask for a drink, then a menu, then to put in my order. Food was okay, they need to work on a few things.

Breakfast Brunch!

Brunch was so great. Atmosphere good and great service. Mimosas and Bloody Mary's were good. Didn't hurt that it was my birthday. Free dessert. Banana pudding great.
