    Sunday brunch. Always tasty, filling and well handled. The eggs were well prepared and the avocado toast was really nice. Biscuit basket was fresh and nicely done. We come here about once a month and really liked it. They were having an event for a 90 year olds birthday. It was nice to be peripherally involved.

    There was no hostess at the front for over 10 minutes. We stood there and watched staff walk around. No one greeted us. This was unusual and has never happened before. The food was excellent.

    We went to Boathouse Short Pump for their Easter brunch buffet. The food was amazing & all you can eat! Our food highlights were the carving stations, shrimp and grits, & the dessert bar. However, the real standout was our server Callie! Callie was on top of things making sure our experience was going well. Callie was quick to make things right for us after our table was accidentally bussed by another team member, which can easily happen on a busy day like today. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back!

    Wonderful dining experience; food, service, and atmosphere was on point. Wonderful selections (Poached Salmon, Eggs Benedict, Shrimp and Grits, Omelette Station, Carving Station - ham and beef, desert station, and craft cocktails) were all supervised and well maintained to ensure freshness and presentation. Well done!

    We went for the Easter Brunch, and although the food was good, it was not a reasonable price for the buffet.

    We have eaten here in the past for Mothers day, service was fantastic. Decided to spend a nice Friday out and enjoy a nice meal. Made reservations and we were sat timely. Ordered several appetizers, entrees, and 3 desserts. The only good thing was the salad. The service was absolutely horrible. The food took forever. We watched several parties come and go. There was only 4 of us. 2 burgers, tacos, and a crab cake/fried shrimp deal. There was no excuse for the time it took. Food was burnt, we waited forever for a soup to come. Our waiter came to our table maybe 3x total. Never got refills, had to beg for a water refill and we all had sodas/tea too. Again, worst service ever. On top of that we had to tip because the waiter hovered while we paid.
