    The buffet was a decadent spread of home-cooked goodness. Everything was beautifully laid out, and the flavors of each dish were incredible.

    Sunday brunch is a must! Try the lobster Benedict - so delicious. Also highly recommend the pancakes and the Monte Cristo sandwich.

    Excellence wait staff, excellence ambience, beautiful fireplace going. The wait for food was a little longer than anticipated but the quality and taste of food made up for that. Overall fabulous dinner for all nine of us. Live music was not over powering either. Thank you for the lovely evening….we will be back before end of year for another casual Friday dining.
