The outdoor seating is the way to go here. It is in demand. There are some good draft beer selections. Service was prompt and very friendly.

Had the avocado and egg brunch plate. Not amazing in flavor but so healthy and great presentation. The rest of the crew ate chicken and waffles. We were warned about the syrup 3 times. Its 21+ syrup!

Try the Modern Burger - With Yam Fries and Chipotle Dip. I had this several times over the past year and it's excellent. They use fresh, local and organic Ingredients.
