• large group dinner

  We had a large group for a special occasion. They figured out a set menu that worked for everyone. Special requests, vegan, gluten free. It was delicious. And the service was beyond good. I highly recommend.

• group breakfast, party of 6

  Good variety of great offerings for our group of 6 for breakfast.

• birthday brunch

  We pulled up for impromptu brunch for my daughter's birthday and the vibe was great. We had a short wait that zoomed by while we browsed the outdoor markets lined around Ft. Green Park. Food and service were A1. Highly recommend the espresso martini. We dined alfresco allowing for people and fall folliage watching. A newfound gem in my downtown BK backyard.

• birthday dinner party

  The best place in the area for a dinner party with drinks my wife loved on her birthday

• friends brunch

  I went here for brunch and i couldn't really order anything. I am vegan but I saw that they had salads from pictures and thought I would be safe. I ended up having to get Huevos Racheros without the eggs so I didn't have to be embarrassed by my friends, or ask them to go somewhere else. I think having at least a salad without meat would be easy enough. Although I was pretty disappointed with the overall menu my Huevos Racheros (without the egg) were pretty good. Side note I was pretty sad by the mushy hash browns ; wasn't what I was expecting or my party was expecting. Friends seemed to like their chicken and waffles and raved about the hot sauce.
