    We had a very pleasant experience. The highlight of our trip to the pump house was our server Johnny. He was very knowledgeable, kind, explaining and fun. He is very open and makes you feel like you belong even if it’s your first time to the Pump House.

    Good food, lovely staff, and did a spectacular job of making it accommodating for all ages. Toddler’s meal coming out quick as lightning, being seated near a restroom, and included an adorable dessert for the tiny human. A+

    We were pleasantly surprised by our brunch! The citrus beet salad was a little bland, but we were very happy with the crab cakes, chicken sandwich, and French toast. Service was great too!
