December 2024The best bottomless brunch I’ve ever had! The star of the show? Joseph, our incredible server, who deserves a standing ovation. He went above and beyond to make sure our glasses were never empty, our food came out perfectly, and that the entire experience felt special. Seriously, can we clone Joseph and have him run all brunches everywhere? By the end of it, we were laughing, eating, and toasting to what was hands-down one of the best brunches we’ve ever had. The Exhibit knows how to do brunch right, and Joseph is truly the cherry on top of an already-perfect experience.
