    New server was top notch. Kitchen made some improvements as well. Started with the always yummy Brussel sprouts from the all Day Menu. I had the Sand Dabs which came with roasted crispy fingerling potatos (vs. mashed potates) and veg that included asparagus - a good flavor combination.., and it came with less sauce which kept the fish crispy vs. being drowned in sauce. It just needed some capers! Husband had the salmon special with spinach and mushrooms which he enjoyed. We shared the Apple Cobbler and ice cream which was nice although nothing beats a berry cobbler.

    We had such a lovely time at the Mother’s Day brunch! We had far too much food and were held over for the day minus a little evening snack. The lobster blt bites were outstanding and I absolutely LOVED the croissant French toast! So good, with a little strawberry surprise in the middle…seriously, so good! We have two littles and we were in a corner which was ABSOLUTELY perfect for our liking! Our oldest enjoyed dancing to the pianists tunes, just an all around wonderful time! Thank you Plaza for making Mother’s Day so special! Much love for this place, ALWAYS! 💖
