My friend and I had a fantastic brunch here! She got the short rib hash and I got the shrimp and grits. And we split a piece of strawberry shortcake french toast. We also took a few pastries to go. Everything was delicious! The service was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our server's name was Zuzu and she super nice and helpful with guiding us toward our selections. Could not recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be coming back!
