We stopped here for brunch before an afternoon flight, and will definitely be sure to come back! To start with, I definitely recommend a reservation for the weekend. Luckily we had made one, which was for 10:30, but I overhead the hostess telling walk-ins that the wait was an hour and a half at that point.
Parking is just local street parking that's paid to park ($4.50 for 2 hours) and also very limited. We managed to find a good spot right near the door, but you might have to park a few blocks away if it's really busy.
We were early for our reservation by 20 min, but seated right away. The interior is very modern, with lots of yellow color that made it very bright and inviting. However, my two major complaints about the restaurant actually has nothing to do with the food. First is that it was very, very loud in there. That building definitely has some acoustics, and if you're looking for a "quiet spot" to have brunch, this definitely isn't it. And my second annoyance came from that there was no type of shade on the windows. We were seated right next to a window and the sun was shining in my face the entire time. The sun literally melted the ice in my soda within 10 minutes, and I requested a refill with no ice.
We were served pretty quickly and had a very nice waiter. We ordered the duck bacon tower and the crab ragoons as appetizers. The duck bacon was delicious, with a subtle sweetness to it that wasn't overwhelming. I think in general that I still prefer pork, but I would definitely get this again. But between the two, the crab ragoons were my favorite. They were nice and crispy, served hot, and I loved the sauce on top. It was a perfect blend of a sweet and spicy sauce, not overly going one way or the other, and the filling was delicious.
For a drink, I can recommend the strawberry lemon drop martini. Very delicious and bigger than the typical drink you'd get, especially for brunch.
For my entree, I tried out the seafood omelette. Let me file a disclaimer that while I love omelettes and order them often, I'd actually never one with seafood before. It was very well made and bursting with seafood and mushrooms. The filling was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. Having said that though, I think the seafood filling would pair better over a pasta rather than with eggs. I personally wouldn't order this again, but only because my personal preference was not to mix the two, but please don't let that discourage you from ordering this and trying it yourself. I would definitely order other omelettes or any of their seafood dishes to try based off of this.
Overall I give them 4/5. No negatives on the food, and I will definitely be back again!
