The food was awful served cold and completely underwhelming. The “smashed” avocado tasted like mushy peas, and not in a good way. We ordered cocktails and were served mocktails .When we tried to clarify, the waitress (with pink hair) was incredibly rude and dismissive. Overall, it was a total waste of money. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a decent brunch.

The alcohol options were very limited and dreadful. Worst prosecco ever. Made aldis feel like champers. Food presentation was not as advertised. This place is the perfect example of not believing what you see on social media. Very disappointed
