Lilly and Jay consistently exceeded expectations through their kindness, patience, and positive attitudes. They were always supportive, took the time to help others, and made every celebration feel special and meaningful. Will definitely come back. DRINKS ARE AMAZING!!!

I love to experiment different places to eat at. This place came up in my google search so decided to give it a try. I came in as a solo diner and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by the owner Ray. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Alex. I ordered a Prosecco and wasn’t too sure what to order to eat. I told Alex I wanted something light and he recommended the avocado toast. That was the best avocado toast I have ever had. I will definitely return to try other dishes. Thank you to all the staff for a great experience.

Went for Sunday Brunch and was very happy with the service. Didn’t have to wait to be seated and received our drinks within 10 minutes. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my partner the Chula-quiles. I literally cleaned the plate, the food was great and perfectly cooked. Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us regularly. The Lineup of Drag Performers was awesome and high energy, overall was a good vibe.

Alex was friendly, attentive, . The drinks were crafted perfectly, the recommendations were spot on, and the service was exceptional from start to finish.What really stood out was Alex’s genuine personality and ability to make every guest feel valued, even during the busiest moments. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, efficiency, and such a great attitude so effortlessly. 10 out of 10

Came here with high expectations and ready to enjoy a Sunday Funday and it was quiet the opposite. My sister ordered Chula-quilles which were soggy, the beans and chicken were luke warm. The waitress had apparently forgotten my order and asked me if I was going to order any food after my sister's food was brought. I reminded her that I had already ordered food and had to remind her what I ordered. Flash forward to almost being there for an hour and my food STILL hadn't come out, we had asked her to send the manager over to our table, I approached a gentleman and asked to speak to a manager which he then said that was him. I told him I wanted to cancel my order which he says they don't do that there. I explained that I had waited already for nearly an hour for my food and now didn't want it. We talked to him about the less than average chula-quilles, about the waitress forgetting about my order. I told him I would pay for our 2 drinks, chips and queso but he wanted to get the waitresses version of what happened. She came over and denied forgetting my order , the manager came back and asked if we had "resolved things". He was insistent that he could not remove my order (which I still hadn't gotten). I finally left enough cash to cover our 2 drinks, the appetizer and a more than undeserving tip. I will NEVER support small business again because rather than taking accountability they deflected the miscommunication to us, the customers.
