Truffle goat cheese pizza, grilled cheese, and truffle fries. Get ready to die & go to truffle heaven.

Bottomless brunch drinks are abut weak but hey it's bottomless. They are excellent with the refills.
Sameepa ShettyMarch 18, 2015
Don't come here for brunch because they try to hurry you out. Food isn't anything to write home about. Though the ambience is good. The wood makes it cozy. Still, other places close by are better

Fantastic brunch. Drinks-wise, the coat of arms with tequila is great!!!

Brunch mimosas are weak. Not worth the price unless you're an absolute lightweight. Music is cool. Brunch Pizza is excellent.
