My husband and I went here to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary which we got married here by the way, and everyone was so nice and even remembered us. The service was excellent, food was amazing, and the servers were on point!!! Refilled my mimosas without being asked when I went to get rounds of food. Shout out to the Latina server I forgot her name but she served me and my bridesmaid mimosas during my special day and she remembered me right away when I sat down. Such a beautiful place that brought back so much beautiful memories. I love it here. Wish there was an option to rent out the rooms instead of having to be a wedding in order to rent out. Other than that amazing place and me and my hubby are planning to come here yearly for our wedding anniversary for brunch. Thanks again Grand island mansion!!! 😍♥️

Great food and amazing service! Although when we first got seated, it took almost 12 minutes for someone to come greet us and take a drink order and we had 3 different servers pass our table but no one said anything. We let the hostess know and she immediately sent over Ashley! Ashley was AMAZING! Super friendly and made sure we had the best experience possible. The food was beyond amazing and big portions! We will definitely be coming back because Ashley made it such a great experience for us!
