    Beautiful restaurant with a nice brunch menu that has a wide range of options and flavor. Cocktails were mixed very well and nice ratio. French toast is delicious... Sunburst spritz was also very tasty. Our server, Mathias, was prompt, knowledgeable and checked in with us at appropriate intervals. We were a loud bunch with lots of questions, he was very kind and patient throughout.

    Lightest fish and chips I've ever had. Perfect! Plus salt and vinegar fries. What's not to love. The double cheeseburger with grilled onions was a good as always. Missed the cocktail specials because of season change which was a small let down. But overall Longleaf is doing a great job compared to a few years ago and is a great stop while at the gardens.
