    Three of us had lunch today. One the vegan burger, two the turkey sandwich, and three large chef salad. All were excellent. And the staff and Service there was off the charts excellent. So friendly so helpful. We had a wonderful afternoon.

    Was expecting better quality in the food served for the price. Some items such as the seafood and prime rib were a good value. The rest of the food was just mediocre and I was really expecting more for $125 a person..

    I'm a regular to the concerts they have during the summer and the ambience, decor and overall experience is always a nice experience. The Easter Brunch was $125 per person plus %20 tip plus tax. We bought a $32 bottle of wine which is fine but after all was said and done it was $363. Overall everything was fine, just don't feel it was worth $363 for 2 people. Maybe in my older age I should avoid pricey buffets.

    Way too expensive for overall experience- now I understand why they offer this brunch two times per year!

    My mother and I were very disappointed in our Easter Brunch experience. Two years ago, although expensive, we enjoyed our dining environment and food. This year, not so much. The food was good, but not worth the price and serverved very stingy - prime rib cut was about paper thin and small, very small, lamb chops were served as "do you want one or two?" We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, which is listed on their regular menu as $26/bottle and we were billed $51.00! Outrageous!! Our total bill was $396.00. My mom is almost 96 yo and eats small portions, yet was denied a leftover box for a small piece of beef she did not finish. The staff could not have been more efficient and pleasant - I felt sorry for our waiter who had to deny a doggie bag. Overall, it was a total ripoff...what a shame.

    We went to my father's birthday party and had a lot of fun. Our waiter was accommodating and friendly. They have a few fights that are original and fun. I had two lol, which was great because I ended up buying two bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine. We will definitely be back.
