What People Are Saying
from Google"This was a cute brunch spot. The DJ was fun and the atmosphere was lit! The food was tasty and fresh! Our server was very polite and attentive. It was my first time at this location celebrating my friends birthday, they gifted her a dessert and brought out a happy birthday banner with sparkles! They have two floors and an outside patio where you can smoke at. Hookah is also sold for $50 dollars. And bottomless mimosas were $45pp Overall It was really fun and I’d definitely visit again."
"Had a good time. Me and wifey went for dinner on a Friday night. Food was really good especially the steak and crab fried rice. Good drinks and drink menu. Relaxed lounge type atmosphere. Didn’t make it upstairs to party but we’ll come back."
"I really wanted to enjoy this brunch spot, especially after traveling from NJ, but the experience didn’t match the online presentation. It looks upscale in photos, but in person the tablecloths, cups, and cutlery felt cheap. Service was slow, though the food was excellent and the music was great. The biggest issue was the constant interruptions from the photographer, who even dropped a pile of photos on our table while we were eating very unprofessional. Overall, this is more of a casual, party-style brunch. If you want a fun, turn-up vibe, it works. If you’re looking for something ideal for couples, this isn’t the place."
"The food, service and music was great! Definitely a nice vibe and atmosphere. We plan to come back for sure!"
"I went here for the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity brunch. 1/5/26. I forgot to take a picture of my food and drink. But I had the steak and eggs and an espresso martini. Both were jam packed with flavor and that steak was cooked to perfection. I like it tender with no pink which normally comes out burnt. This was a juicy tender steak. Seasoned to perfection. The only complaint/not really is the upholstery it was dirty in appearance and when creating ambiance the furniture is important. Its quaint and small upstairs. All in all I gave 4 stars. Price is okay for the area. The waitress was nice and provided good service. Next time they need more than one person serviving all those ppl."
