   We loved our server Creed! He was such a gentleman. Food and drinks were excellent too and the live musician was fantastic. He sounded exactly like John Mayer!!

   I normally really enjoy this restaurant for lunch. The menu is great. But they called me two days before Easter informing me that my reservation was a $75 pp Easter brunch. Given the past history of good food, I was expecting something nice. But essentially - this was like a work lunch buffet. No carving station, no omelettes, no bread, no juices, and the only fruit appeared to be w the dessert as a topping. The dessert table was large oversugared cookies the size of a child’s head. There was one cake and it was actually good. The alcohol was extra - which was fine because we don’t drink. They sat us inside where the 60 degree wind covered us but no sunlight. Even the men in our party were freezing. They never came to clear plates or change silverware. They did seem to be busy with an egg hunt and Easter bunny experience. Which was cute for small kids. But the Mac n cheese/ chicken tender buffet just didn’t cut it at $75 pp. I would have said $35-40 price point at most. Long story short - avoid buffet events unless it’s a work meeting Disappointed…

    My favorite place for a business lunch. Lots of choices and a nice place to sit and talk.
