We were sat in booths and the seat backs were filthy with splotches on the them. The drinks were fair, but nothing to write home about. Had some apps and some were good but the salumi and cheese board were not great. Hopefully these are not staple meats and cheeses as they were old and low quality. I got the chicken parmigiana and it was all breading. After removing the breading, it was an incredibly small and thin piece of chicken. The accompanying Alfredo was very good however. I rate it so lowly because the price to quality ratio is bad. Way too expensive for the overall poor quality meals and drinks we were served.

My friend and I were so impressed by the wonderful and plentiful brunch offerings and we were really happy that the very generously- portioned dishes were plated in the kitchen and brought to our table so we didn’t have to be jumping up and running to another room to serve ourselves. Every single dish was creative and delicious — we especially enjoyed the scones and muffins, pancakes and French toast, shrimp and grits, chicken and biscuits, and the cute bunny cookies! The coffee was outstanding. Last — but by no means least — our server, Craig, was unfailingly courteous and attentive and we hope to see him soon again. My friend and I agreed that this was, hands down, the best brunch experience either of us had ever had!

Amazing! Love going when they have the characters, all the food is so good and well-made, the characters they hire are fantastic and so patient. On a personal note, I always appreciate the gluten free menu options.

First off, the service is amazing! Everyone we encountered in the place was so helpful and friendly. Our waitress was outstanding. We sat outside. That was nice, but listening to the cars race donw the highway was off-putting (NOT the restaurants fault at all). The drinks were amazing. We ordered cocktails, and they were great tasting and fun. The food, though. Not good. The aluminum and cheese board was ok but not 22 dollars worth. The spaghetting and meatballs were awful. How can something be mushy and undercooked at the same time? I suggest the chef try Maggianos downstairs the street together, etc. some tips. My wife's short rib she said, tasted bland. We paid 210 dollars with tip! I'd go to Fogo and spend a little more with amazing food. If you're looking apfr a nice place for drinks, this is a good spot. If you're looking for a great place to eat, go on the other side of the condos and hit SEASONS 52 for much better food for the same price tag. Won't visit again.

We had a 1pm reservation for small party of 3 on a Sunday so not crowded. Drinks and apps were ordered at the same time, apps arrived and we had to wait an additional 5 min for drinks. Food as great, brunch, sandwiches and pizza were ordered. We had another lag in getting the table cleared and once deserved was offered we were just ready to wrap it up. Great restaurant and food, service on this particular day was a disappointment.
