    We enjoyed dining here for the Mother’s Day buffet brunch. One downside is that they ran out of oysters. Everything else was great

    First of all we were miss led on the price that was advertised don’t like the fact of being charged gratuity 24% each person at the table when you have to track down your waiter/waitress to get service let me tip my table person on how I feel they did. So this is a issue that needs looking into I wasn’t satisfied I fell we should get our gratuity back. As usual the food was excellent.

    This was Mothers Day Brunch. The best venue in the tri-city area. We don't want to broadcast it to too many people because we may not be able to get reservations next year if everyone finds out about it. So keep it on the down low.

    The food was good, but we were not impressed with the wine list. Also, I ordered an Old Fashion and it was the worst drink I’ve ever had. I mentioned it to our waitstaff. Apparently an inexperienced bartender that night. I did not order another beverage. When our bill was brought to us, our waitress apologized for my drink and had removed the coat from our bill. This was a nice touch - not something I had asked for or expected.

    Very lively on Saturday evening with the dance floor overflowing. Good music, but a little too loud for the space. If you want a quieter area, you need to request it. Food is great.
