    Good food. Not GREAT, like we were hoping. Always wanted to have a Mother’s Day brunch there. Now that we have been, we won’t be going back. Service was very slow, took forever just to get water refilled, food was just ok.

    Understaffed with servers spread too thin to clear plates and take drink orders, long valet line, restaurant temp upper 70s. Food quality very good though.

    Very sad to see the elegance of the decor stripped to a very sterile doctor’s office feel. The plastic green ivy along the windows didn’t help. Also very sad to see Sunday brunch buffet gone. What remains of the menu is simply average. The live jazz was enjoyable. The staff is still wonderful. We visited this place consistently for 21 years on our anniversary. We will not return.

    Went for jazz brunch. Service was very engaging, but they seemed under staffed. The lights were too bright, making the ambiance feel more cafeteria than fine dining. Lack of decorations made the place feel sparse. Food was ok, not worth going out of your way for but decent. The jazz band was great.
