    Great brunch with excellent live music. Staff was attentive and friendly and meals were delicious. Definitely get the coffee cake! Loved that we were only a couple tables away from the stage but could still carry on a conversation. Haven’t found many venues with live music can pull off those acoustics and the trio was really talented.
