    Enjoyed a birthday brunch today at corner table. Attentive and friendly waitress. We all enjoyed our brunch and lunch menu options topped off with a chocolate raspberry cake for birthday dessert.

    The seats in our booth were so worn in that we felt like we were in a sink hole. The calamari was off in taste. The bathrooms needed to be kept up and we were there earlier in the evening. Not a great experience.

    Our group of four dined mid-afternoon on a Saturday and it was packed. Service was top notch despite the business, and food was delicious, especially the key lime pie at the end!
