I enjoyed the food, but I was disappointed that I couldn't make any changes to the brunch items. I was told that everything is pre-prepared and served exactly as described on the menu. For instance, I don't like mushrooms and couldn't request their removal from my omelet. The waiter explained that it would be too time-consuming and put too much strain on the kitchen staff to cook items to order.
