While we got there during happy hour the mixed drinks specials was confusing. Some fell under this catogory while others did not.
Now onto the food, some in our party was raving about the apps that were served on a board. In fact we had 4 orders of it. Which have various items that were unique and tasty. Not really my idea kind of app but was had something for everyone.

The staff was good and prompt, we always had ice water and never had to flag down our waiter for refills. Now the mixed drinks were very good, mostly order during the happy hour prices. Was quite surprised how good they where.

The area was great and the live music was pleasant w/o being too over powering that our table could not hear our own conversations.

I want to love this place.  It's right down the street, after all, and the only true brunch option in the neighborhood at the moment.  The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is always friendly, but the food really is meh.  Unless what you're going for is veg burger and quinoa (which is still "meh", but kind of cool to find on the menu), the food just doesn't deliver.  The corned beef is hardly corned, the smoked salmon is overly salty, the eggs are overcooked... but like I said, great staff and a nice place :)

Initially called it a 3 out of 5 on FB, but not A-OK criteria here on Yelp, hence the 2. Service and ambiance was great for our first visit. We were well attended to by a patient wait staff who took great care of us. The apps (baked onion soup and wild mushrooms with baked goats cheese and pita wedges were outstanding. However, the season menu item of grilled asparagus with shrimp was not. Using unusually large spring asparagus is difficult enough. But if it's not prepared properly in advance of grilling, you'll be cutting off more woody ends that you end up eating. The staff at least did the right think by comp'ing the meal. Dessert was especially good, as we ordered a bread pudding with ice cream to split and they brought us two just for our trouble with the entrees. THAT is taking care of the customer in a way that's likely to bring them back through the door....and that's what we'll do!
