Super excited to have a solid/creative/huge brunch spot in the square. Even better than it was in Kendall. Hoping they can extend their hours to take advantage of location…

Little did I know that when ate here they had only been open for a week prior! Fantastic food. Ate here four days in a row! Tried something different each time. Staff were welcoming and attentive! Heck Leah the bartender even remembered what I ate and drank the day before! Highly recommend.
