    Everything was wonderful! We were celebrating a birthday and this place made it very special. We had the prefixed menu, the striped fish and short rib and both were excellent. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or a romantic date night

    Mother’s Day brunch did not disappoint. The four of us all enjoyed our meals from salmon steak egg Benedict. even though it was the hottest weekend of the year, the shade, the umbrellas and the huge fans kept it very comfortable. We had a great time.

    It was a wonderful place to celebrate Mother’s Day! Sat outside under the tree. Food was excellent! They were extremely busy but handled it very well. It took a little extra time to get the bill but other than that, we will definitely go again.

    The restaurant was beautiful, the service was fine. The food was just ehh. The house special waffle was underwhelming - batter had no flavor and it was neither hot nor crunchy. The lobster omelet at $39 market price was very bland. The corned beef hash was a little too salty and the poached eggs overdone. The highlight was that my dad totally enjoyed the pan fried liver and bacon entree. Not sure if I’d come back.

    Some of the most indifferent service we’ve ever experienced here to the point of being rude.
