    Great service. Expecting so much more for the price of the Sunday Brunch. The food was worse than mediocre, the entrees were often empty, rhe salmon was godawful, the desserts were pretty but absolutely tasteless - and they had donuts as dessert. What the heck? And the donuts weren't fresh and weren't good. At almost $50 per person plus $9 fee for parking, this was our first visit and our last visit. Sadly, the service was outstanding.

    Dined here on Dec 21, the weekend before Christmas. We were able to get a reservation for 4 and were seated next to the window with a panoramic view. The valets and hosts were polite and helpful. Once seated, our server was right there and had a great attitude and was most helpful. The salad/soup bar was fresh and well-stocked. Our main courses of prime rib, filet mignon and bass were all cooked to perfection. Would definitely come back.

    The salad bar was really small. It used to bigger and actually could be called a salad bar. It’s pretty sad right now. Just the basics. If I knew it was that small I probably wouldn’t paid the extra cost.

    New renovated salad bar was very disappointing. Much smaller and not much to choose from compared to before. Didn’t appreciate having to pay for valet. If you want to impose valet because of overcrowding then don’t charge your customers for it.

    The food was disappointing and some even terrible, like the waffles, they tasted like what cardboard may taste like! Mosts items were dried out. Chicken nuggets, French fries and mini corn dogs are not necessary on a Brunch buffet! The prime rib was very rare, even when asked for a medium cooked slice. The best thing was the biscuits and gravy, the champagne and of course my company. Way overpriced brunch for the quality of food, however the view was nice so I guess that’s what you are paying for!

    We dined there for two birthdays and requested a table by the window which they accommodated. It was a bit cramped for 6 but we managed. The prime rib steak and cheese bread were excellent. The serve was a bit rushed as well as our meal.

    Restaurant was overbooked and under staffed. Our waiter was hustling doing the best he could be was assigned too many tables to give good service. Not his fault he should have had help but he was not provided any. Service was slow kitchen was slow and not the best experience
