The cocktails were all prepared really well, the relish tray was the perfect amount for the 5 of us, and our brunch dishes (3 Benedicts, a brisket hash, and the omlette) were all delicious. Catherine took care of us and shifted her position when she noticed that my dad couldn't hear her. That's a level of attention that many don't have (people, let alone busy servers)!
