    Very enjoyable brunch in a quiet surrounding. The menu was a bit unusual but enjoyable. I’m referring to the French toast with nectarines.

    Everything was great. Noise level relates to the bar where we waited for a table for about 20 or 25 minutes since we were early for our reservation. One of the three bartenders was excessively loud with banging the tools and shakers. That was the only thing that took away from our experience.

    Had a reservation at 5 for 2. Sat immediately at 4:55. We were given the perfect corner booth seat, which I always appreciate. Service was prompt and food was excellent. Scallops and octopus were perfect. Thank you!
