    All in all the Mother’s Day Brunch was great. A little annoying that we asked if our son could get scrambled eggs instead of fried and they said No substitutions. So we had to pay for extra eggs. One of our steaks was rare and the potatoes were cold. When the waitress boxed up our food she left half of it on the plate and threw it away. They seemed overwhelmed. With the amount of money we are spending I would think scrambled eggs wouldn’t be a problem but they did this same thing with other tables around us. Watched 2 tables send back their plates for being undercooked pancakes.

    From the awesome valet men to the Restaurant staff ( of course, our waiter Chris ), the service deserves 10 stars. It was a great Mother’s Day dinner.
