Leave a ReviewFantastic Brunch! Went here for Mother's day and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend the Balkan salad and the Goulosh. Order the Salmon Eggs Benedict. The Bellinis are perfect. Come hungry.
I absolutely love the atmosphere here! We had a birthday dinner for a friend here, and our hostess Milena was incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions and gave THE BEST recommendations! She checked on all of us with perfect timing and ensured that everyone was happy and having a wonderful evening. After dinner, the DJ came in and the music and lighting changed to a very fun and club-like vibe. We will be back for drinks, dancing, and the DJ- and hopefully have Milena as our hostess again!!
