The food here is crazy good. Everything is served family style. Each dish was packed full of flavor. The Khachapuri is such a fun dish and tasted amazing. I think the fried Brussels sprouts were our favorite. The service was amazing matched with great food, couldn’t get any better.

A fun, vibey spot we checked out for brunch! I adore cauliflower dishes, and this one was no exception. Properly spiced and given all the love that’s typically reserved only for potatoes. The khachapuri is a cheese lovers dream. We needed more than 2 people to be able to finish. Happy to have visited!

The food was incredible. The Zilzil (berbere beef) was really amazing. The cheese filled bread is such a fun tableside experience and tastes great too.

Compass Rose is such a great brunch spot if you’re looking for variety. The vegetarian around the world tour for brunch is a really great deal - five different dishes for $45. And they are all really amazing. The khachapuri is huge and the sabich is incredible.
