We came to the restaurant for brunch. I had the steak and eggs, and my wife had the crab meat hash. Now the steak and eggs was good , but my wife was not happy. I guess it normally comes with a poached egg on top, but my wife requested to have an over hard/fried egg instead. That's the way she ordered it, but they put a poached egg on it. We asked the waitress to have it remade with a fried egg. She said no problem, but still brought it back again still with a poached egg. By this time, I was finished my meal, so we just gave up on hers and had it removed from. The ticket. Not sure if the cooks refused to put anything othe than a poached egg, or the waitress didn't understand what the difference was between a poached egg and a fried egg.

The meal was spectacular and our waiter Michael was able to move us quickly so we could order from the brunch menu - and it was just wonderful! The Host was also able to seat us in a quiet area away from some very excited young children who loved to run around.

Everything was great, but I did want to mention that the entree should have been hotter. Otherwise, the experience was fine

This has always been my favorite spot for brunch. Unfortunately they have raised the prices by quite a bit and the quality is down. Service was as excellent as ever.

We made reservations for this restaurant after church on a Sunday and we were celebrating brunch. It was very noisy when we first got there, but everyone seemed happy and it wasn’t overwhelming. We noticed immediately that the former brunch menu was no longer and they had a smaller menu. However, it was adequate and tasty. Service was excellent. I would recommend the food and the restaurant.
