Solid boozy brunch spot in sunnyside/ Woodside area, which has a dearth of weekend brunch restaurants.
Each brunch entree comes with a complimentary beverage, which needn't be boozy but could be. I got the bloody Mary and it was on point. For $25, you get bottomless for 90 minutes. Other non-brunch cocktails were well made too.
Angus burger with sunny side up egg, bacon, caremalozed onion etc was delicious. Blackened salmon very high qualiy. They also have an Irish breakfast, steak and eggs, poached eggs, and other tempting options.
It's too bad the vibes aren't better here. Not to say vibes are bad, but the place has little to no atmosphere. Very dark. Looks like an old Irish bar. Food is on par with a high end diner, but the ambiance doesn't match the quality of the eats.
Still very worth checking out for boozy brunch...

Other than that the service is decent and the people are nice and you can always watch The Game on the...
Read moreVisiting this establishment can only leave one rapt with one sentiment: utter disappointment. Given this restaurant’s previously known deft handling of their own time management, completing a customer’s request took 1 hour — instead of the 20 minutes that were promised — to complete our group’s order. And, once our group has received our desired dishes, we were left unsatisfied due to the poor quality of these dishes ranging from $13-20. This was due to the kitchen staff of this restaurant over-frying appetizers such as “Fried Calamari,” heightening oil usage for entrees such as “Tuscan Rigatoni,” and leaving out sauces for renowned sandwiches such as “The Reuben.” Optimally, it would be effective to avoid this establishment...
