    Service was horrible. We were there three hours no one ever came to check our tables. We finally had to ask for a manager to come and take care of our table. They served us our food before the appetizers. The manager tried to make it right but the servers they couldn’t make it right.

    Easter was a hot mess. Not enough staffing. We were there for almost 4 hours because service was so strained.

    Service was exceptional however the food quality was not! Especially in comparison to the year before. We went for Easter brunch in 2024 and again in 2025. If this had been our first year we probably wouldn’t return. The food seemed to be sitting out too long before making it to our table. Felt like they planned and prepped for the busy crowd and we had beat the rush and were served food that was prepped 30-60 minutes prior to our seating. Sandwich bread stale, oysters looked scary, etc. We were blown away in 2024 and underwhelmed in 2025. However our server was great and the ambiance too so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite the disappointing quality of the $108 brunch

    Our reservation was for 7:45 checked in earlier so we can enjoy the bar which was awesome! They did not sit us until 8 ish but was worth it because we got the middle edge with the best view 🙌🏼 we did the “I’ll take my chances” on the menu and everything was delicious! Our server was the best!
