    A nice lunch-food was very good. Unfortunately, service was very slow-they may be shortstaffed. Our server was very nice .

    I had the eggs Benedict which was good. Waiter service could improve. I dislike waiters who keep asking to take away my plate when I am not really done eating . I like To sit and graze but I just let him take it away so he wouldn’t bother me again. And then walked out hungry as I didn’t really finish my plate.

    Sat on the veranda for an afternoon lunch. The food service and atmosphere were wonderful. I tried the set menu lunch with the pork tenderloin and is was excellent. A great escape from the busy city

    The service and staff are amazing as always, though the menu has changed, went during the week and they took steak frites completely off their menu, I was told it was on the brunch during weekends but it isn’t. I use to go out of my way for it but overall the food is good and service amazing.
