If you have not been to Sunday brunch here in a while, the chef continues to change up the menu & offer several creative new dishes. Do not miss the Croque Madam!! The in-house made brioche bread, combined with fresh Gruyère cheese makes this a memorable choice. The new Apple Crisp dessert is also a great new menu addition.
