Why Summer + Brunch = The Perfect Match

Our spacious patio offers the ideal backdrop for sipping mimosas and diving into your brunch favorites. Surrounded by fresh air, warm sunshine, and your favorite people, brunch just hits different this time of year.

Now let’s talk about what’s on your plate.🍳 Must-Try Brunch Dishes This Summer

🦞 Lobster Benny
Poached eggs, fresh lobster, arugula, and silky hollandaise served on a toasted English muffin with breakfast potatoes—luxurious, flavorful, and made for weekends that feel a little extra.

🦀 Crab Cakes Benny
Our house-made crab cakes topped with poached eggs and roasted red pepper hollandaise. It’s coastal flavor without the plane ticket.

🍓 Berrylicious Challah French Toast
A summer favorite! Sweetened berry cream, warm berry compote, Chantilly cream, and powdered sugar—it’s basically brunch dessert (and yes, it’s totally acceptable to order it as your main).

🥩 Steak & Eggs
A 10oz beef tenderloin grilled to perfection, served with two eggs your way and our signature breakfast potatoes. A hearty way to start any summer adventure.

🥑 Avocado Toast
Smashed avocado, sliced radish, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, and red pepper flakes on sourdough. Served with arugula salad, it’s light, fresh, and perfectly seasonal
