Mothers Day brunch was exceedingly overpriced and disappointing. Dessert table was a huge disappointment. The desserts were all petit fours that were obviously not made by the restauraunt. No variety in options for other types of desserts. Omlet station was good. Serive eas quite good. Greay view was the best part of the brunch.

We attended the Brunch for Easter and it was awesome. So, we booked the brunch for mother's Day and was a bit disappointed. The cost was the same (a bit expensive) but the variety of the food and the service was not the same. It's time to find another Sunday Brunch location.

We stayed at the hotel and ate here for several meals including breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service can be a little slow but the staff is very friendly. The food is good. Our favorites have been the breakfast sandwich, the chia seed pudding, chicken apple sausage, the salmon, and the wedge on the edge!(best wedge salad). Matt and Heather were great servers and very friendly. We sat at upper patio, lawn and inside, all great views.

We had Isaiah as our server and we really appreciated his attentiveness and was very friendly. The food was very tasty…sunny side eggs with chicken apple sausage, fruit and toast with mimosas. I loved the buttermilk pancakes! We sat at the outdoor terrace but next time, we’d like to try sitting down near the beach.

We expected this brunch to be expensive. But that typically comes with great service and food. The reality is that place has a great view, poorly prepared food, and some of the worst service you can get at a restaurant. Probably because they force a MINIMUM 20% tip on top of their outrageous prices. Also, they charge PER CUP of coffee. Each refill they pour you, they charge $7. Luckily the service is so slow, you rarely get your coffee refilled.
