    Our reservation for Sunday Brunch was last-minute, so we were aware we would be sitting outside on a sunny day in late June. We were seated at a table where the seat was very hot from the sun. I was surprised that there were no fans, and yet the waiter brought room-temperature glasses of water. And we had to walk inside and across the restaurant to get to the buffet. The website talks about sitting outside in the cold weather, but nothing about sitting in the heat. The food was okay, and mostly hot, but there was not a lot of variety of hot items. I may try them again, when we can sit inside before I pass final judgement.

    Thank you for your honest feedback, Michelle. We’re sorry the outdoor seating and buffet setup didn’t meet expectations. We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a better experience indoors next time. -Kiara

    While the food was good, the service was S L O W. I don't know if it was a staffing issue -- not enough waiters, or there were problems in the kitchen.

    Truly baffled that my noted “special occasion” (on open table) luncheon, table of six, was exiled to a corner of the restaurant where extra chairs are stacked, the bus boy station is in full view and hot uncovered windows allow outside 96 degrees heat to beam down. It was quite an unspectacular experience for a ladies luncheon that included out of town and out of state guests. Once our food was delivered our server never even bothered to ask or check how our meal was or if there was anything needed.

    One pasta dish seemed like dough and undercooked, the next was hard and unflavored. Drinks were nice.
