"Seriously great food here. Servers were delightful even with such an insane brunch rush. It's a shame I didn't get my servers name he was so lovely and kind with us!!! Otherwise I would shout him out on here. I ordered the corn pizza as corn and cheese a pretty popular asian food combo and I am usually attuned to the taste of my culture it did have some latin American flavor twist to it with the sauce which was some sort of aioli. I will say it was a tad bit greasy, but hey its a pizza. Italian and oil goes hand in hand. My other friend got the French toast with fantastic toppings with something alike to a blueberry preservative, some nutty seeds and a MASCARPONE. Will say the MASCARPONE I have tried on other french toasts before were a bit more whipped, light and fluffy. This one was a bit more thick and more of a regular cream cheese consistency. Not mad though, it balanced the flavors very well but my friend wasnt a huge fan. My other friend accompanying me ordered the Loco Moco. I also found it peculiar that there seems to be an Asian cuisine twist on this traditionally Latin dish. I tasted a bit of it and it mightve been the best thing on the table. It had a perfectly season sunny side up egg, a hamburger patty cooked about medium rare, over some rice. there was a bit of dehydrated fried onions as well as fresh cut green onions garnishing the egg, and topped off with a soy GLAZE! not soy sauce... a GLAZE! i need the recipe for this supposed glaze cuz it was amazing. I don't even rlly like red meats that much or eat them on the regular, so it was very shocking to me how the flavors were very balanced. Very cute seating, we sat indoors but there is a very nice patio and a bar too."

"when we arrived for our reservation, I informed the hostess that we celebrate our jubilee, although we have our 5 year old daughters with us. she was friendly and wished us a happy jubilee. when we set ourselves, she poured our water for us while we waited for our server to arrive. we were looking forward to learning more about a few dishes, but no one ever helped us. not even order our drinks. the host noticed that we had not been helped, so she came back to see if she could help us. we decided that we would give up our order. drinks and dinner included. the command of my man and the daughter came to our first thing that was good when I wanted to eat my daughter right away. not complaining to eating. they both thoroughly enjoyed their gourmet fish and chips. I have waited a few minutes that the server that would drop from the food of my family would come back with mine. Once I realized that this wouldn't happen, I got the attention of a server who asked how our eating was so much tasting. I let her know I was still at my dinner, so she went on. I do not think it has ever been put into the computer so that it came back to let me know that it would come out soon and that it would be on the house. while waiting for my dinner, my daughter said she was still hungry, so we ordered an app from a nice Gentleman server that went from us. (I didn't know if we had a dedicated server at that point). he put our order in place and it came right away. we also have a series of oysters in the woman who told us our pasta to be on the house. I specially ordered two simple oysters for my daughter and two regular oysters with beats for my man. if they are the order in which I hear the kitchen screams “four simple oysters!” that had to be corrected as well. overall, eating was good, but the service was terrible. especially if I let them know we celebrate our jubilee. so disappointing."
