Overall, this was a nice brunch for a party of 6. Our server was a bit hesitant at times and didn't know a lot of answers to our questions. Nevertheless, he was OK and we got thru it all. We did have a hiccup or two with the steaks ordered, but Overall we will not count them out. I believe this was their first brunch and it showed.

We often dine at this establishment when we come to Norfolk to attend the theater or some other event. Food and service were on point. We also enjoy the Santa doll figurines at Christmas time and will buy one as all proceeds go to charity.
