Cool vibe. Great fried pickles. Good cocktails. Staff could have been more hospitable (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Benedicto-what? Benedictowitz! Treat yourself for brunch. You're long overdue. Poached eggs on a potato pancake with smoked salmon and hollandaise sounds like the perfect solution.

Get better WiFi so those of us with dodgy cell service can take advantage if your check in special.

The pork belly sliders and lobster pot pie are great gourmet updates on comfort classics.

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

Love the cocktails, especially the settlement. It is like a mojito with smooth cognac; so good.

Great music and cocktails. Haven't seen a night where it's too crowded either.

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

French toast & truffle tater tots for brunch are amazing!

Great brunch spot - great food and $20 unlimited mimosas. Sundays check out DJ K Styles (hot DJ spinning the hottest music)

Food was jus alright but a great spot to celebrate birthdays or gatherings...

Super trendy - could be fun for drinks. But dinner just isn't worth the $$$ when you have so many better options in this neighborhood for less. Biggest rip off - the (raw) brussel salad.

They're cool with you dancing on the couches near the dance floor so definitely take advantage of that

90's hip-hop playlists on weeknights. Can't go wrong with something like that.

Mac and cheese, fried chicken but the fish and chips very small portion

Dj on Friday plays trap-heavy hip hop, a must for drum and bass heads.
