    We went for Mother’s Day dinner with our two kids. It was amazing. Everything from appetizers to entrees to dessert was perfect and delicious. The place itself was magical and the cocktails even the Shirley temple for kids was superb. Our server was patient and kind and gave great recommendations.

    Service was slow, 15 minutes to get a coke. Food is overpriced and no substitutions were allowed. Can usually make substitutions. I like their steak but their green beans are trash and I like to get the potatoes instead. Not allowed this time. Restaurant wasn’t that busy. Numerous open table upon arrival. Asked not to be sat next to walkway to restrooms as we have in past and it’s busy with people walking by all the time. Hostesses scoffed and acted put out as that’s where she was going to sit us. For a meal that cost well over $300 with four people with no alcohol I expected much better on Mother’s Day from a restaurant that acts like it wants to be upscale.

    Amazing, gorgeous atmosphere in the Garden Room which you must specifically request though not guaranteed. Food was great. Had the fried chicken & waffles. Just wish there were a few more brunch options. Nevertheless, delish! Pink Pony cocktail is a must try.
