    Four of us had brunch on New Year's Day. Our meals came in a reasonable time and were nicely presented. Pancakes, Breakfast Burrito and Poached eggs royale were very good. We also ordered the french toast to share which was amazing. The coffee wasn't so good. The restaurant was not very busy at the time. Brunch menu has lots of options.

    This restaurant has become our go to special event place. So few of these experiences remain. Not only is the food exquisite, but it’s almost a throwback to “fine dining“. The uniformed staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and incredibly attentive. The last time we went for Thanksgiving, at the end of the meal, the waiter handed us his business card and recommended that the next time we came back, we asked for him and he would be sure we were well taken care of. Who does that? Totally amazing. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

    Fantastic food and service! Holiday music was a little loud but we still enjoyed our meal. Booths are comfortable but a little tight if you have more than 4 adults. We were a party of 5 and will request a round table next time.
