Best brunch in a neighborhood with many brunch options. Everything, yes, absolutely everything is good. Hint: If you want their best bakery items you have to get in before 9:00 on the weekends. Also you will need to put your name in and wait on the weekends so head over, put your name in, and take a stroll through the neighborhood for 25 minutes till they text you with your reservation.

Google describes it as a rustic gastropub with a big craft brew & wine flight menu plus cheese, charcuterie & American eats. Whether it's a hot date, grabbing a drink, a nice brunch, a late lunch or looking for a great meal this place simply has it all. Oh, and the service here is A+ as good as it gets.

Highly rated restaurant with a rotating menu, wine, cocktails, and craft beer all in an open kitchen. Great for a fancy dinner or date but on the pricey side for good reason! Check out the Sunday family dinner deal and outdoor patio in the back!
