    Came here for a pre concert meal. Wanat bad, wasn’t great. Table next to us was so loud! Ordered their pull apart rolls and they came out cold. Got the short ribs that were supposed to have a “honey mustard jus” - actually there is some jus, and just a whole bunch or reg honey mustard on top of the meat. Not very appetizing. We ordered a casear salad and starter. They offered to split the salad which incurred an upcharge on the bill. A bit tacky esp since the salad was tiny. Server was friendly but felt he was rushing us out at the end. Hubby had a full drink and server asked if he wanted a to go cup. Overall high bill for the experience. Doubtful I’d go back

    We went here for my wife’s birthday dinner and mentioned it to our server when seated. She said happy birthday, but she clearly didn’t want to be there and seemed like we inconvenienced her with our wine and food order. It was probably the worst attitude we have ever experienced. Mona is in the wrong industry. The filet mignon was the driest we ever had and could barely cut it. Mona didn’t check back until the end and bought an old piece of cheesecake for my wife’s birthday. It just crumbled! Seriously, the worst food and service for the money we spent on a special night! There were only 3 tables eating, so it wasn’t because they were busy. Skip this place unless you like this sort of thing!

    Wonderful experience! We were a party of 7 with one being an infant. Everyone was very accommodating and kind. And the view of the marina was beautiful.

    I've been here before. Visit on Mothers Day. It may have been my fault, but did not know it was going to be a buffet. I wasn't upset about it. Server was okay, although the adult drinks were taken and he forgot about the kids. Tried to give plates to server on a couple occasions and just walked away. Kinda pricey for a buffet...$95. I'm chalking this up as an isolated incident, because I've received really good service here before.

    We went to Humphreys for Mother’s Day brunch. We had gone at Christmas so our expectations were high. We were kind of disappointed with the food selection and the service was a bit slow. At Christmas there was fruit and seafood, but that wasn’t there this time. At Christmas the service was faster and more attentive. For the price we were a bit disappointed.

    We attended the Mother’s Day brunch and found the food to be of good quality, albeit slightly pricier due to the limited selection of options available. Notably, beverages were not included, which I would have anticipated to be included. While we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the brunch, we must acknowledge that the overall cost was excessive for the limited variety of choices offered.

    Went for Mother’s Day and got eggs Benedict, steak and Eggs, and croissant sandwich. Thought we had booked the Mother’s Day buffet but the small font on the menu said it was only from 10AM to 1 so I booked too early and we were a bit dissapointed because we thought we had booked the event. The food was okay but the servers were kind.

    The service was excellent. Our waitress Jolene was very pleasant. The food, drinks and dessert were very good. The dining room was a little bit hot because the AC was out but the back door was opened so a little breeze was coming in. Other than that we had a very nice dinner. Thank you Jolene for taking care of us :)
