Great Chill Spot with Good Food & Drinks
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the good food and good drinks. The atmosphere was perfect for a chill hangout spot, with all the games on and a pretty low-key vibe on a Sunday afternoon. I would definitely go back.

Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at the restaurant was excellent. I visited on a Monday at 5: 45 PM, possibly due to a show at the observatory. The food was rated a 5, the service was a 5, and the atmosphere was also a 5. It's a walk-in only establishment with a price point of $100+ per person. We enjoyed indoor dining in a place with moderate noise.

Excellent Food, Sweet Service, No Wait!
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive, despite a noticeable change in the brunch menu from previous visits, which is now more limited. However, the Chicken and Waffle and Shawarma Hash were both excellent! The bottomless Mimosas for $17 were a great deal, and our server was incredibly sweet and helpful. A significant plus was the no wait on a Saturday, making it an ideal spot if you're looking for immediate seating. The atmosphere was also appreciated; it was nice and dark and cool inside. We were the only ones there, so we asked to have the music turned down slightly, and they were happy to accommodate.

Cookie's Chicken Sandwich is a Must-Try!
If you haven't stopped in to get one of his chicken sandwiches, go let Cookie hook you up! The food was excellent, with a perfect chicken sandwich. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing Brunch with Great Vibes!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! Chyna, our host, did an amazing job hooking us up with bottomless mimosas. The vibes were great all around, and I'm definitely coming back for another brunch outing!

Surprisingly Great Food and Service
We were planning on going to another restaurant but it was too crowded, so we ended up here. Surprisingly, we had great food and great service.

Expensive Drinks Ruined a Fine Meal
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was fine, but the drinks were outrageously expensive. I'm talking $18 for a light cocktail, and this was during happy hour. Of course, the prices aren't advertised anywhere until it's time to pay, which was a significant issue.

A Touristy Spot, One and Done
My experience at this restaurant, a touristy spot connected to a theater, was a mixed bag. The food was average, and the mixed drinks were just okay. Ultimately, it's a one and done experience for me.
