    Well, Mother's Day is always swamped. The staff did the best they could under the circumstances. Service was great, only negative is all our food was a little cold; however our waiter took care of it.

    Went on Mother’s Day weekend and it was of course busy. I’ve dined here before in the past and the food still came out tasting great! Service was not the quickest but the holiday is decent excuse. Would still dine here over and over though.

    The service was bad. They didn't seem prepared for the Easter crowds at all. The food was also bad. Cold, underprepared, or in the case of ham--dried out. At least one in our party had gastrointestinal problems afterwards. This chain used to be a favorite with great food at good prices. Now it just feels like the owners are trying to get as much money out of it before killing it. After a very long time of going, this was the last visit.

    I reserved Easter Sunday well in advance. When I got there they at us at a table with 3 open booths. When I asked if we could move he said no because larger parties were coming who had reservations so we stayed at our table. He also gave us a prefix lunch menu and no breakfast menu. I asked for breakfast menu and he said we only have lunch. I said you didn’t advertise that on Open Table which is why I booked here. A few minutes later we got a limited option Easter breakfast menu. Our server came and took our order. She was amazing. After almost 20 minutes the booths were still sitting empty so we asked to move and she said yes because we were going to ask if you could move so we could push tables together for a large party.

    Eggs Benedict and potatoes had a bitter taste. Honey bran muffin was good.
