Arriving at noon, it was easy to find a table and leave space between us and other diners. This was important as hearing is an issue. The staff were great and lowered the music volume a little, which was thoughtful and appreciated.

a good friendly customer service and extensive brunch menu to choose from.

Great food and even greater service. might be a smaller space indoors but completely worth waiting for if you forget to book ahead!
