Food good, service bad. Fun and lively. Great for brunch

Reviews for this restaurant are mixed. Some customers had issues with slow service, mediocre food, and feeling neglected by their server. However, others had positive experiences with friendly and attentive staff, enjoyable ambience, tasty food, and great drinks. Overall, it seems that while there may be some inconsistencies in service and food quality, the lively atmosphere and accommodating servers make this spot a fun place for brunch with a wide-ranging menu and popular drink options.

We absolutely loved the crab fries and the roasted Brussels sprouts at this restaurant. Additionally, the sauce on the "baby" pasta was outstanding.
