I went on line and found awesome reviews and great pictures of the bar food so I took a large group here for Mothers Day. I'm so confused by this and could this be the very same kitchen that Mothers Day Brunch came from! What happened? I suggest sticking to what you know and absolutely stay away from a buffet situation. This Mother's Day brunch has to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a restaurant and at $27.99 it did not include a drink or a tip WHAT!!!! This buffet was set up in the bar, under three lights that you had to dodge the whole time you are trying to get through the line. It was a one side set up so the line was very long. Where are the napkins and silverware? The salad bowl along with the food pans were empty and stayed that way almost the whole time we were there. The food was mediocre at best when it finally came out... I don't think anyone was manning this ship and it was definitely sinking! It's Mothers Day and I just wanted a piece of pie or cake or a sweet of any kind, but none in site! Sooooo disappointing!!!

The buffet setup felt like a scene out of a comedy sketch with my head grazing the lights hanging from above. The long lines and consistently cold food left much to be desired. Empty chafers and a perpetually barren salad station made the experience feel more like a scavenger hunt than a meal. Surprisingly, the dessert section seemed to have gone on an unscheduled vacation. At nearly $40 per person, one would expect a feast fit for royalty, not a comedy of errors. With the number of attentive bussers, one would think they could spare a vigilant eye for the buffet. On a positive note, the host and service staff were delightful, but unfortunately, charm alone can't compensate for a lackluster dining experience.

I will begin with the fact that we had a 1:00 reservation for the Mother’s Day brunch. We were not seated until 1:30. It was difficult to navigate getting to and from the buffet set up because there were so many people packed into the restaurant space. When you finally got to the buffet area, there were no plates and we had to wait in line for over 5 minutes just waiting for clean plates. Once we were able to fix our plates, there were very limited options that had been refilled so we were unable to get a variety of food options. The food and plates being refilled seemed to be a continuous problem the entire time we were there. That was a disappointment since whatever food we did eat was very delicious! Paying almost $30 per person was a little much for mini corn dogs!! We will definitely give this establishment another try but only for regular dining. I would not return for another buffet type situation.
