Chris R.Chris R: All of the cocktails are good and it is the best brunch if you are hung over. Love the huevos rancheros or the bison steak and eggs.

Alex D.Alex Dexter: 3 words: Bloody Mary Bar! Yes it's expensive -stop complaining- its gigantic and delicious. I had the house vodka, rim sauce & seasoning and their award winning bloody mix; so in love!

William M.William Manning: The food is great, the service is great, and they even have a bar that can make a Sazerac!

Jon P.Jon Peterson: I have to recommend the Bloody Mary's. The Lowry uses Svedka as the rail vodka for Bloody Mary's and the resulting drink is spicy, flavorful and powerful, but deceptively smooth.

Brian M.Brian M: Awesome brunch! Bloody Mary's are delicious and so was the Meatloaf Hash.

Kristen A.Kristen A: The caipirinha cocktail is amazing.

Arielle L.Arielle Lenox: Best wood fire pizza. If you're feeling like craft cocktails after dinner, they have a hidden speakeasy down the back alley through the red door!
