    We sat at the bar inside the restaurant and were fortunate that Sam was working. She is an absolute pleasure to have as a server. Very friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and her hospitality skills are always the best. More importantly she cares and that is a tremendous tribute.

    Excellent Sunday Brunch! We had great service and the cooked to order omelets were delicious.The buffet offerings were also delicious and included smoked salmon, blintzes, and various proteins. Not inexpensive; however, worth it for a nice occasion.

    Ambiance is spectacular and the environment is extremely family friendly, especially as the season is winding down. Grace could not have been more accommodating and friendly, and we always are happy to be in her station.

    Oh wow what a fabulous Sunday brunch buffet. We always come when over from the Uk and the blueberry French toast alone is worth the 9 hour flight! Service exceptional, food fabulous and a great atmosphere. Thank you ❤️
