Very cool spot... Went for Sunday brunch. Eclectic menu, great vibe and soundtrack. Food was fantastic, service was good. An absolute must is saving room for the bread pudding... It's to die for and big enough for 5 to share!

We love this restaurant. They know how to prepare Gluten Free and the food is delicious. Other server was great too! Chopani, Chilean Seabass, short rib, branzini, for dessert we had blackout cake, Limoncello cake, lave cake and blueberry sorbet. Delicious!
